Bug Reports / Various bugs with M3U playlists
« on: June 25, 2017, 09:07:33 PM »
Version: 3.1.6385 (installed, not portable)
Windows 10
Patch applied as suggested from here: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=21767.msg127732#msg127732
That patch supposedly resolved issues regarding M3U functionality, but as far as I can tell all it did was disable the screen for setting options regarding M3U playlists. The following issues remain:
* Exported M3U playlists do not follow the settings specified in Preferences -> Library -> playlists. M3U files are exported with absolute paths even with 'use relative file paths' checked. In addition, the file path is in Windows format even with 'use unix path convention' checked. Finally, the 'map base file paths in exported playlists' setting is ignored as well.
* With the above patch there is now no way to set a playlist to be automatically exported. This setting was on the Playlist Settings screen which was disabled with the above patch. Even without the patch this setting didn't work, because the checkbox for specifying automatic export was cleared each time the setting screen was closed.
* Not sure this is a bug or just a usability issue, but each time a playlist is selected from the Explorer screen it is opened as a new tab. It results in having several duplicate tabs open. Personally I don't think it makes sense to clutter the UI with redundant tabs like this.
Thanks.
