           Summary: Media player devices: Call sync() after each transferred
                    tracks to have correct progress indication

          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist kde org
        ReportedBy: gabriel_ambuehl buz ch


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Currently, all tracks seem to be written to the device and it's synced at the end (and/or) when Disconnect is called. Which takes forever if your device isn't very fast and you got a lot of RAM available for cache. I therefore propose to call sync() after each track so one gets a much more reliable indication of the progress the transfer has made so far.

Oh and happy new year, keep up the good work!
