System IO Exception when clicking autoplaylist in different computer

[duarte.framos]

I've been getting this error lately for the past few days when clicking one of the existing library tabs on a different computer.

Code

MusicBee v3.2.6902.32258 (Win10.0), 20 Sep 2019 11:13:

System.IO.IOException: The device is not ready. [D:\Duarte\Media\Music\DPFRMusicBee\Playlists\Genres\Nineties Dance Music.xautopf]

I use MusicBee portably and open it daily, when switching computers from home to work I always get empty tabs, and I have to manually click them and browse to the correct playlist to repopulate them. This error happens when I click one of the existing autoplaylist tabs.

Just for the sake of documentation I tried with the latest version v3.3.7165.34284 nd I get the same error

is the device on drive d: ready? MB is just reporting the error that windows is reporting

[duarte.framos]

No, on work computer the D: drive is a DVD ROM which is usually empty, whereas at home it is my secondary HDD where MusicBee runs from. That is probably it for the error.


Other than that is there anything that can be done to mitigate empty tabs, other than manually remapping them one by one to their respective playlist?
