Renaming a single monitored folder in Windows Explorer may incorrectly update the path of
all files in MusicBee.
I've recently bought a new NAS and am gradually recreating a MusicBee library on a mapped network share.
I have MusicBee set to monitor a single folder that contains all of my tagged music:
\\[NAS Name]\Multimedia\Music
For the sake of this example, within that I have these two folders:
\\[NAS Name]\Multimedia\Music\B\Billy Joel\1978 - 52nd Street\
\\[NAS Name]\Multimedia\Music\J\Jeff Wayne\1978 - War of the Worlds
The first track in the first folder has this path:
\\[NAS Name]\Multimedia\Music\B\Billy Joel\1978 - 52nd Street\01 - Big Shot.flac
If I use Windows Explorer to rename the second folder to this:
\\[NAS Name]\Multimedia\Music\J\Jeff Wayne\1978 - War of the Worlds [Test]
MusicBee's status bar shows:
Monitored folders: 4,492 files updated
(which is every file in my library)
The path of the previous file in the MusicBee tag editor now shows as:
\\[NAS Name]\Multimedia\Music\J\Jeff Wayne\1978 - War of the Worlds [Test]\B\Billy Joel\1978 - 52nd Street\01 - Big Shot.flac
Somehow, the portion of the renamed folder path below the monitored folder (in bold) is being inserted into every file path.
I didn't notice this when I had my music stored on a local drive, so maybe it's a bug that only affects network shares.
Also, it doesn't happen every time but I have seen it when renaming folders in both the Library and Inbox. Hopefully, there's something obvious that can be fixed. If not, I'll keep testing and try to work out some more specific steps to reproduce the problem.
-edit-
Sorry, should have mentioned I'm using 3.3.7077.
