Description of problem: This could be multiple issues. Hard to tell. Parole fails at clearing the playlist. Upon restart it always reactivates removed/cleared playlist entries. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q parole parole-0.5.2-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable "Remember playlist" checkbox in "Edit > Preferences > Playlist" 2. add multiple music files 3. quit parole 4. restart parole 5. remove all files (either one by one or with "clear" button) 6. restart parole Actual results: The files reappear in the playlist. Expected results: The playlist would be empty. Additional info: There are mixed results when emptying the playlist with the "clear" button and restarting Parole. It would clear everything but the first file or nothing at all. The "Remember playlist" setting gets reset to "off" upon restart. Issues are reproducible with "Remember playlist" disabled, btw.
This is a single problem: Unchecking "Remember Playlist" doesn't actually set the value false, the GUI doesn't represent the settings status correctly. You can check this with $ xfconf-query -c parole -p /playlist/remember-playlist true Now if you set the value with $ xfconf-query -c parole -p /playlist/remember-playlist -s false and restart parole, the playlist is empty as expected.
After some further debugging, I've reported this upstream to https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10269
It's not yet implemented. The three other checkboxes get set: src/parole-conf-dialog.c parole_conf_dialog_set_defaults_playlist()
Hi guys, the upstream bug is fixed. Michael, can you please take a lot if it works fine for you? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/parole-0.5.4-1.fc20
I can confirm it's fixed in parole 0.5.4 so I'm closing this bug.
