           Summary: Amarok is hard coded to scan for collection from root
                    directory
           Product: amarok
           Version: 1.4.7
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist kde org
        ReportedBy: mtrainer central-data net


Version:           1.4.7 (using 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.4)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22-14-xen

I am trying to configure amarok to run under a secure NFS home directory.  I get an error "Access denied to file:///." as amarok appears to try and scan from "/" downwards to create a new collection which is not permitted in our environment.  There doesn't appear to be any easy way of fixing this issue.  We are using KDE Kiosk Tool restrictions where KDE apps are not allowed to browse outside their home directory.  Amarok's behaviour in trying to access '/' directly conflicts with the KDE kiosk browsing restriction.  A preference to change the default top directory for collection scanning to $HOME or similar instead of / would solve the problem.

Thanks
