GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 766655
Select directory
Last modified: 2016-05-19 17:21:46 UTC
It should be possible to select the Music directory. Gnome-music defaults to ~/Music, and doesn't appear to let you configure that. My music isn't in ~/Music, because ~ is too small. There's a second disk. ~/Music is a symbolic link there. Tracker doesn't follow symbolic links, so I'm indexing the other directory in tracker-preferences, and 'tracker search --music' finds these files, albums and artists. gnome-music doesn't find those files. There's a helpful message: WARNING ~/Music is a symlink, this folder will be omitted query.py has "Glib.UserDirectory.DIRECTORY_MUSIC", but I can't find a setting for that in gnome-settings nor gnome-tweak-tool nor gnome-music itself. I've been able to set it using xdg-user-dirs-update, but that doesn't seem discoverable.
