Wow, this bug required a lot of work, really a masterpiece :-) Thanks!
For now, I just disabled watched folders, it's possible to live without it :-)

Cheers and keep up the good work here!

Murphy's reply to "Suggestions for improving the Now Playing List" was just promoted to the most useful! Mac and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

I didn't see this mentioned yet, but maybe a solution to the problem of some people wanting a song to play on double click and some wanting it to enqueue could be that the user has to hold down a key such as alt while double clicking for the track to enqueue, otherwise it will just play. In fact, maybe it could just be alt and single click so people don't have to worry about resetting the list they were making if they accidentally just double click because they aren't pressing alt hard enough. I used to use Winamp back in the day and I think it could do something similar.

That would be awesome, please do! thanks :-)

Speaking of importing vs updating, I haven't seen any speed difference when importing a folder which I have already imported but it disappeared when symlink was broken. – Mac, on August 19, 2009 07:48

Not updating symlinked media library (linux)

Songbird is not updating my media library, which is a symlink to a directory on another computer mounted by sshfs. Sometimes the link gets broken, and then the music disappears, but it won't show up again when the link is not broken. Although I can import the music again, it takes ages and I would like it to be automatic. Ubuntu 9.04, Songbird 1.2.

A comment on the question "Saving URLs to Playlist" in Songbird:

And what about urls that are not in shoutcast's library? for example intergalacticfm.com streams? – Mac, on August 17, 2009 23:23
