            Bug ID: 356996
           Summary: Tracks become 'never played' after modifying the root
                    Music directory
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.8-git
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Collections/Local
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
          Reporter: robert@capuchin.co.uk

Having had problems in the past with soft links in my ~/Music directory
pointing to other partitions (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349783 )
I decided to sort things out and did the following:
- In amarok settings->Local collection, I removed the soft link from
directories to be scanned
- I let the rescan of the collection (by ok'ing the settings dialog) run to
completion (so ending up with around 600 fewer tracks in the collection as the
soft link was no longer followed)
- I then, in local collection, added the true path to the collection area in
the other partition (rather than using the soft link), ok'ed the setting dialog
and let that scan run to completion.
- I noticed that the collection size was around 300 tracks short of the total
before I started the process, thought it odd but ignored it.
- I then removed the soft link 
- At some point after this I realised the collection count was back at the
correct number (not sure what amarok did to get this right)
- Then I realised that all the music files in ~/Music at the top level (eg
~/Music/item.flac ) were in the collection but were down as having never been
played and there were around 300 of these tracks - this the bug

So the statistics for these files at the top level of ~/Music have been lost,
I've been back into settings and made the tick box for ~/Music fully ticked (it
was marked as partially ticked after removing the soft link at step 1) but so
far I've not managed to get the statistics for these tracks restored.

I was expecting to lose the stats for the tracks pointed to by the soft link
but to lose the stats for the files in ~/Music was unexpected.

(sorry this is a bit discursive but I hope it's clear!)

Reproducible: Always
