| Summary | 0008404: Auto-Organize to multiple folders deletes accompanying files | ||||
| Description | When Auto-Organize files in a single folder with accompanying files to multiple folder the accompanying files are deleted. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | (1) Have multiple tracks in one folder. And add any accompanying file in the same folder. (For example Track#1, Track#2 and a Cover Album picture) (2) Select all both tracks (4) Use Auto-organize files (5) Now if we were to Auto-organize it so that Track #1 will go into Folder A and Track #2 goes into Folder B For example, D:\Music\<Artist>\(<Year>) <Album> (CD<Disc#>)\<Title> Where Track #1 is Disc=1 & Track #2 is Disc=2 The result will produce the following Folder D:\Music\Artist\(Year) Album (CD1)\Track#1 D:\Music\Artist\(Year) Album (CD2)\Track#2 (6) Click OK. Go check these two new folders. The Album Cover (in step (1)) is not in the new folders and the sourced folder with the accompanying file has been deleted. | ||||

Fixed in build 1435. There were actually several sub-fixes: 1. In case MM really deletes the content of the source folder after move, it should be to Recycle Bin, not permanently - fixed. 2. In case Move Accompanying files dialog is shown and Canceled by user, MM shouldn't even try to delete the source folder content - fixed. 3. In MM3 we didn't even try to move accompanying files when the target was >1 folder per 1 source folder (i.e. the case described in this issue by lowlander). So, even though user might expect to see folder.jpg in both target folders, it actually wasn't moved at all and so both tracks from the example missed album art completely. This is now fixed, Move Accompanying files dialog now shows all possible destinations for accompanying files. So, in case user just clicks 'Move' button in this dialog and doesn't modify checkboxes, folder.jpg would be moved to both target folder in the example (and the source folder would be completely removed as expected). |

2&3) Verified 1) Don't know how to test as it shouldn't occur. |

1) This actually can occur in case user unchecks all checkboxes in Accompanying files dialog and clicks Move. I.e. nothing is moved, but the action is confirmed by user and so deletion of orphaned files seems to make sense - but now it isn't permanent and can be undone. |
