--- Comment #2 from Dima Ryazanov <dima@gmail.com> ---
Why is it "far stretched" if there's a UI for that?

In any case, here's the reason:

My collection had a single folder selected, "/home/dima/Music". (It was
actually a symlink to another folder.) I moved some folders around, and Amarok
froze for a few hours while using up 100% of CPU. Turns out, it scanned my
whole home directory, /home/dima/, and added everything to the collection. My
playlist now contained files like
/home/dima/src/chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/LayoutTests/http/tests/resources/test.mp4,
that were clearly outside of the "Music" directory. (Just to be clear: I never
had any symlinks inside of "Music", so there's no excuse for that.)

I decided to debug this a bit and unselected "Music" in the collection config.
The collection became empty, but the playlist still contained the same files. I
wanted to see if Amarok was picking up files that weren't actually in the
collection, so I clicked "repopulate".

(So there are two bugs here. I figured I'd file the crash first because it was
easy to repro.)
