Bug Description
I have collection of my songs, separated into several folders. I want to create smart playlist of files based on their location.
I have managed to create such a playlist but there are mixed conditions - interpret and location. Now it doesn't work - If i try to create playlists using just location condition, the playlist is created but when I press enter on it, it doesn't do anything and prints traceback(see attached log).
I am blind user, but this shouldn't matter here.
I am running exaile 3.3.0 dev from your PPA on ubuntu 12.04 32 bit fully upgraded.
I expect playlist to be created :-)

To post a comment you must log in.
I don't believe your traceback is related to the issue you are reporting -- though I will look into fixing that as well.
After some experimentation, it looks like the location must be specified in the form of a URI. So for example, on Windows the URI would be like this:
file: ///C:/Music/ Other
Or on a *nix system, it probably looks like this:
file: ///home/ user/Music
Additionally, you have to use 'contains', and not 'is' for the matching condition, as the matched path is matching against the full file URI -- so location would be matching against file:// /home/user/ Music/filename. ogg
This is definitely unintuitive, and should be fixed to use paths that users are more used to, and the terminology should be adjusted so that it makes sense. Let me know if changing the location as suggested above works for you for now, and we'll try to make it more intuitive soon.
