[MAC] Problems with file operations on SMB share

2024-05-09 13:06:34

I'm using the latest foobar2000 version (2.7 preview 2024-05-06) and have encountered a problem with file operations. My music resides on an SMB share. If I use file operations to move files inside my media library, then foobar2000 doesn't recognize that files are already present and match the pattern.

Here are the files on the share:



Here's foobar2000 wanting to move them although they're already there:



And here's foobar2000 not exhibiting this behaviour (as expected) when the media library is on a local disk:

Okay, this is not limited to SMB shares, it also happens with an external drive which is directly connected to my Mac.

There seems to be another problem with this:

If I select a saved preset from the File Operations/Move context menu, then the File Operations window contains all files belonging to the context item, regardless of whether they need to be moved or not.

If I select the "…" entry from File Operations/Move, the File Operations window only contains the files of the context item that need to be moved.

Please try:
https://www.foobar2000.org/getfile/foobar2000-v2.7-2024-09-12.dmg
I made changes to File Operations UI to better deal with stale destination folders and removed buggy file path picker control in favor of plain edit box.
If the problem persists, this build writes debug feedback to the console when building a list of file operations to perform, will tell you what it thinks it's moving and what operations were skipped as no-op.
