Problem with adding complete volumes

Post by NalleBear »

Hi there,
I've got a little problem with adding complete volumes/drives/subfolders to the library.

I like to use an easy example: I want to add all media files stored on a CD

I insert the CD into my cd drive, let's call it Y:

I open "My Computer" in MediaDonkey do a right click and choose "Add tracks to the library". The "Add Folders"-window opens and I can see drive Y: is checked.

When I expand the folder view I see something strange. Only the first subfolder is checked to add to the library!???

Looks like this:

[x] Drive Y:
------[x] Folder 001
------[ ] Folder 002
------[ ] Folder 003

When I then click on drive Y all subfolders will be selected. That's not a big deal with a flat folder structure but I have CDs with deeper folder structures and I have to expand all the folders to select them all.
And what is more the same thing happens on hard drives. You can imagine that it is quite a lot of work to select any subfolder manually just to add it to the library.

Is there anyone having the same problem or did I miss something?

As a matter of fact it's very uncomfortable to add complete (removable) drives and/or folders (with subfolders) to the library for me.

Any hints to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance,

NB

Thanks for reporting the bug, we are going to solve it to the next release. Actually, the bug is quite nasty, but its consequences are not that bad - if you only check a folder or a drive and don't expand it then (that's the buggy action), it is scanned fully, not just its first subfolder.

Anyway, expect a fix for this soon.

Thanks for your quick reply, jiri.

Now it's much easier for me to add complete disks. 8)
