Mantis issue for auto-adjust of track paths when a portable installation is moved?

[chrisjj]

Can anyone direct me to the Mantis issue for the addition of the auto-adjustment of track paths when a portable installation and its tracks are moved together? Or suggest how to search Mantis for it (given Mantis has no free text search)?

This change must be somewhere between:

* 4.1.4.1709 - moving a portable install and its tracks sitting in an adjacent folder to a different path (e.g. on a USB stick, replugged and changed drive letter) would leave MM unable to see the tracks - due to outdated track paths in the database.

* 4.1.31.1919 - no such problem, indicating MM must adjust the paths somehow. Great! ( viewtopic.php?p=502909 )

Thanks.

Hi,
Can you please be more precise and also supply problematic MediaMonkey.ini as attachement to Support ticket with steps to replicate fail?

Can you please be more precise

I can't see how. Which bit is imprecise, please?

and also supply problematic MediaMonkey.ini as attachement to Support ticket with steps to replicate fail?

Are you sure that's useful, given the fail is absent on the current version, 1919?

Hi,
You are right, something that works now should not be tempered with

[chrisjj]

Any idea how to find the Mantis issue that made this change?

Hi,
It was multiple issues fixes and tweaks where MM detects correct settings in Portable subfolder and accordingly use relative paths instead of absolute ones like before.

That fails if MM is moved but tracks not moved, right?

Hi,
MM Install folder and settings do not influence MM DB which point to tracks based on Partition Serial not drive letter.

NOTE: If you moved tracks from obne folder to another outside MM MM will treat them as new tracks and grayed old ones.

Then could you explain the new relative paths for tracks? E.g. relative to what?
