Changing library location doesn't re-scan library
Today I was looking for a simple and efficient music player to install to my mother. I remembered abandoned Rhythmbox mainly because of those king of problems may years ago, and I was quite disappointed to see that this problem is still here.
Steps to reproduce:
- install Rhythmbox => library location is set to
~
by default - first start Rhythmbox and wait for first scan is complete => the library shows all audio files found in
~
and sub-folders - go to settings and change library location to a subfolder of
~
; ie~/Music
, then close settings - observe that library hasn't been updated, contrary to what you would expect
Proposed solutions (inclusive OR between those two proposals ;)):
- update library when user change library location
- add a way to manually re-scan library, as suggested 7 years ago in #1172
Rhythmbox 3.4.3
