Duplicated library

[Frédéric Cadier]

Well, I still don't know when it happens, sorry, but almost all my library is duplicated.

As shown on the joined capture, my Musique folder is about 5140 files large (some are not music, in fact), and the first times I ran listen, my library was correct with my about 4500 music files.

After a "while", I updated my library and listen duplicated almost all !

Thanks for help

My library got duplicated after I moved my music folder to another partition leaving a softlink to it in my Home/Music folder.
Each song is listed using the softlink and also the new partition folder, since technically both paths are correct. Reloading library doesn't solve this.
Example:
1. /home/andrea/Music/Elvis Presley/Elv1s 30 #1 Hits/09 Don't.mp3
2. /extra/Music/Elvis Presley/Elv1s 30 #1 Hits/09 Don't.mp3

Listen should choose if to use 1. softlinks (preferred choice because it allow me to change file locations) OR 2. the expanded path.

Listen 0.6.4

@Elcado, check the file path of two duplicated files (right click - Edit - Advanced Properties). Are they equal?

You can launch listen with this option to correct the problem I think :
# listen --library-sanity-check
