Removing tracks from Library doesn't work

[D Mac]

Running on Mac OS X 10.5.3
I re-organized my music files because Mixx couldn't read my m4a files.
Now my library has two instances of the previous files I had that were mp3 - one won't load so it is likely it is pointing at an old location.
I can't seem to re-create my library from scratch?
If I remove all the items in the Mixx library and then rescan, point to another library location rescan, back to proper location, rescan. Files are not re-adding and library remains empty.
When I exit Miss and restart the old library shows up with the duplicates,
I reinstalled Mixx1.6.0b3, but the library remains there - so it must be in another location. If I knew that I would try to remove the saved settings.
Let me know how I can do this to work around.
I love the product and am DJing a party on Saturday - plan to use it.
Thanks

Hi Duncan,

Quick fix is to open a terminal in OS X and run:
rm ~/.mixxxtrack.xml

That will clear Mixxx's library. Beyond that, I think you've found a genuine bug. We'll have to take a look at this.

Thanks for the bug report, and good luck with the gig on Saturday!

1.6.0b3 is doing this on my machine as well; running Debian lenny.

Hi Albert,

I have the same issue using XP and 1.60. Any tips on how I can fix it?

Cheers,

Same issue on Mixxx 1.60 on Ubuntu 8.04

"remove" tracks doesn't actually remove them from the .mixxxtracks.xml file...

So there is no way to remove a single track from your library...

In order to recreate your library you need to execute one of the following:

1) Shutdown mixxx

2a) Windows
del %USERPROFILE%\.mixxxtrack.xml

2b) Linux / OSX(?)
rm ~/.mixxxtrack.xml

Cheers,

one of the following being step 2a or 2b that is.

Renamed the bug and assigned to me.

Is this the same bug as #192042?

This works the other way too. Using trunk r2568 I added a file to my disk and the library automatically rescanned but didn't show the new file. I rescanned manually and it still didn't.

[Albert Santoni (gamegod)]

No, it's not the same as 192042.

Fixed in Mixxx 1.8.0!
