[Rhythmbox-devel] NFS/vfs, Rhythmbox and album art.

[Gisli Ottarsson <gisli ottarsson mscsoftware com>]

There has been some discussion today about Rhythmbox's tendency to
purge songs from the library when it doesn't find the song on the
disk.  When the music library is NFS-automounted or accessed via
gnome-vfs-ssh, this happens a lot and it is painful.

Unfortunately the the development version's cover-art capability has
taken this to a new level of pain because in addition to removing my
albums from the database the cover art is purged from
.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers.  I the cases where the cover-to-album
association has been made manually, this is particularly frustrating as
a lot of manual labor is lost.

When improving the handling of songs that are temporarily unavailable,
please consider the cover art database at the same time.

Thanks

  Gisli
