overlapping directory structure of folders not handled well
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2015 3:42 amI came up with a folder structure that doesn't seem to be handled by Subsonic correctly.
Here is how I have defined my Media folders:
artists --> albums/artists
soundtracks --> albums/soundtracks
I rename my albums like this:
albums/artists/Led Zeppelin/Physical Graffiti
albums/soundtracks/Led Zeppelin/The Song Remains the Same
So within Subsonic, I can choose to view the "artists" folder, or the "soundtracks" folder, and a list of artists shows up in the left edge pane of the page, and everything works just fine. If I view "artists", Led Zeppelin shows up along the left edge, and if I select Led Zeppelin, I see the album Physical Graffiti. Conversely, if I view "soundtracks" and choose Led Zeppelin, I see the album The Song Remains the Same. All good.
The cool thing is that I can now choose to view "All folders". When I do so, I see Led Zeppelin along the left edge, and when selected I see the two albums Physical Graffiti and The Song Remains the Same, all as expected. BUT, if I then switch from viewaslist to not-viewaslist (viewing the albums as cover art), or vice versa, then the soundtracks albums are no longer displayed, so in my example, Physical Graffiti is displayed, but The Song Remains the Same is not. If I click on Led Zeppelin, then the display is refreshed, and both albums are displayed. But switching view-types drops the soundtracks again.
I believe this is a bug. Can anyone confirm or can the author acknowledge?
