[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#547294: gtkpod: when a track fails to convert no tracks are saved

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: gtkpod
Version: 0.99.14-2
Severity: important


When adding a directory to an iPod it can happen that a file is mistakenly identified as audio when it is not, is damaged or wrong format and gtkpod fails to convert it to mp3.

In this case no tracks added to the iPod can be used. Judging from the time it takes to unmount the iPod they are uploaded to the device but the database is not updated.

This sucks because finding the broken file and removing it is not exactly easy with the gtkpod interface, and finding 2-3 is quite annoying.
