Bug#660559: rhythmbox: playlists are destroyed when media files moves or gets deleted

[Anton Eliasson]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.95-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Dear Maintainer,

I recently moved my entire music library from one location in the 
filesystem to
another. This of course caused Rhythmbox to mark these as not found, but it
also removed them from my playlists. Consequently, after re-importing my 
music
library and clearing the not-found list, I lost all my playlists. My 
suggestion
is that playlists are treated somewhat separately from the main library, and
that playlist items are only marked as not found when they disappear, 
instead
of removing them completely. They could for example be marked with the 
red stop
sign used to indicate that an import failed.
