Hi Gonemad,
It Happened Again Today
Firstly I want to assure you that I am not a numpty & do know what I am doing....I am an IT Software & Hardware Engineer For Siemens of 25 years....
I am able to tell you EXACTLY what happened today..
So you can understand my layout here is an example of my folder structure
/mnt/storage/music/artists & bands/#A
/mnt/storage/music/artists & bands/#B
/mnt/storage/music/artists & bands/#C etc etc
/mnt/storage/music/compilations/#A
/mnt/storage/music/compilations/#B
/mnt/storage/music/compilations/#C etc etc
/mnt/storage/music/soundtracks/#A
/mnt/storage/music/soundtracks/#B
/mnt/storage/music/soundtracks/#C etc etc
the file path of the particular song I wanted to delete was
/mnt/storage/music/artists & bands/#R/Run-D.M.C_\Walk This Way The Best Of Run-Dmc/04-the king of rock.mp3
I had gestures setup to long press to delete the song & after I long pressed I had the option to delete file or folder, I absoloutely guarantee I selected file. After some minutes of not responding the player came back to life but with a black screen & wouldn't play anything in the playlist unless I selected something outside of mnt/storage/artists & bands & sure enough exactly like last time the entire /mnt/storage/music/artists & bands folder was gone! leaving me with just /mnt/storage/music/compilations & /mnt/storage/music/soundtracks. Even if I had selected folder by accident (which I didnt) surely it would have deleted the folder that the song was playing in rathe than the whole (28,000) artists & bands folder? Lastly if it is any help I was playing in shuffle all songs mode....
I would REALLY appreciate it if this could be fixed as I have become quite fond of the player & looking forward to you additional features that are coming.... time to start loading all my songs back on again now
