Bug Description
When I'm trying to import various files from my music folder I click on the cog in the upper-right corner of Noise. Then, I select "Import to Library...". This goes smoothly and up to this point everything seems to be functional. However, when I go and click on the cog again, within the same Noise session, the option to "Import to Library..." is grayed out and it won't allow you to select the option again until you close Noise and open up a new session. So, basically, every time I want to import an individual file I have to open and close Noise. You might be asking why in the hell is this guy importing his music files one at a time to the library in the first place? That's a great question, I'm glad you asked. I'm not trying to file two bugs here I'm just trying to provide an explanation for the way I'm using Noise when this behavior occurs. The first issue is the issue that I'm trying to address here. I tried importing my entire library (Over 100GB) through Noise and I let it do its thing until it was done. When I went to listen to some music the next day I had found that somehow the source files that were in my actual "Music" folder had been deleted and also they weren't present in Noise when I tried to find them there either. Thank you for your time and have a great day.

A workaround that I found is to play any random song in your library, and you can import again. If you want to import again after that, you have to play another song.
