Summary0013119: Duplicate profiles can occur due to deletion of storageInfo.xml
DescriptionThere is one issue that can cause duplicates of profiles:

- clean install of MMA (all folders deleted), device with SAF storage or write-limited storage - i.e. all non-rooted Android 4.4+ devices with SD card
- do NOT allow access to whole SD card..especially do not allow access to /MediaMonkey folder
- MMA generates GUID to storageInfo.xml in app specific folder
- sync with MMW (wifi or usb) - MMW gets the GUID
- uninstall MMA - this will delete storageInfo.xml in app specific folder
- disconnect USB cable
- reinstall MMA - new storageInfo.xml with new GUID is generated and this causes creation of new profile

It can be partly safely fixed on MMW side. I know that we previously discussed that MMW should write duplicate storageInfo.xml to /MediaMonkey/ folder - so it won't be lost after uninstall. MMW doesn't create it now.

I know that it will solve the issue only for USB sync. Wifi sync (where MMW does not write to storage) will still cause duplicates. But it cannot be fixed on MMA side becuase there is no persisted location to store storageInfo.xml on SD card.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build1784

As discussed offline:

- for USB sync: MMW should copy storageInfo.xml from MMA app specific folder to /MediaMonkey/ folder as storageInfo.xml.mmw (so that it is persistent after MMA uninstall)

- for WiFi sync: Not solvable in general, even if MMA would keep the info on internal storage while it is uninstalled, SD card could be swapped (similar to 0012205)
