"Duplicate" files - not so

Post by musoware »

There are some cases where Muso will reject a file on an import as a duplicate where in fact it isn't, eg:

. Duplicate file path \Qmultimedia\Music\Bob Dylan\The Essential Bob Dylan\CD1\07 - Mr. Tambourine Man.mp3
- already in \Qmultimedia\Music\Bob Dylan\1998 - Bootleg Series\CD1\07 - Mr. Tambourine Man.mp3

This is because Muso sets up an internal primary key to allow fast indexed access, and this key is by file name and containing folder name : in these cases the file name is the same and the containing folder name in both cases is "CD1" - Muso can only hold one reference to this due to the requirement that the key is unique. In cases like this where the containing folder is just a CD or Disk number, Muso should be changed to use the PARENT folder name in the key.

I wasn't able to get this in 1.5.31 but it's next on my TODO list.
