Automatic playlist caseconversion in filter

[Loe Spee]

Automatic playlist filter is converted to smallcaps, with the result that the compare with paths of files is not working as expected.

When creating a new "automatic playlist" in Rhythmbox when I specify to use the type "path" for the filter and enter "Hooverphonic" for example, this would mean all files in my library which have the word "Hooverphonic" in their paths would be selected.
The strange thing however is that Rhythmbox converts the entered word(s) to all smallcaps. Which results in all files with "Hooverphonic" in their path not being selected, since we are using a casesensitive filessystem.

Either leave the case as entered.
Or, this is what I would prefer, make the compare between the filter and the path of a file in the library case-insensitive so when entering "Hooverphonic" will result in selecting files with "Hooverphonic" as well as "hooverphonic" in their paths.

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? That works fine for me on dapper

[Loe Spee (lgespee)]

I am still using Ubuntu Breezy Badger (5.10), with the Rhythmbox package from the default install, which has version 0.9.0.

So the following example will work in Dapper?
file: "/home/loe/music/The Very Best Of Sting/01.flac"
will be selected when entering a filter on the path and entering "sting" (all lowercase).

Right the example gives the same behaviour with dapper

In case it was not clear the filter doesn't match the example

I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331665

duplicate of bug #2645 in fact which is fixed now

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

fixed upstream

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

and fixed with dapper

Absolutely fabulous.

Great work, and very nice to see it is fixed in Dapper.
Another small issue I had with Rhythmbox has been solved,
and as far as I recall all of them are fixed now.

Great work, and thanks for your response.
