Save Current Playlist Panic

<< < (2/3) > >>

iPodVT:
I'm not sure why I thought it mattered that the current playlist was dynamic and not one that already existed in my Playlists Directory.  In any case, I just now repeated the same test but instead of playing an album from the database browser I started playing a playlist from my playlists directory.  When I went to Save Current Playlist and edited the directory name to one that doesn't exist I got the same panic.

chris_s:
should be fixed in the upcoming build, thanks for reporting, iPodVT

iPodVT:
Updated and tried it just now - no Panic.  Thanks very much.

iPodVT:
There is still at least one edge condition causing issues.

After all of the recent testing I'd done re Save Current Playlist, I had several leftover test directories and playlists that had been created so I decided to clean things up by deleting them in the File Browser.  As it turns out, Rockbox still considered one of those deleted test playlists to be the Current Playlist.  This obviously caused problems for Resume (and continue) Playback, View Current Playlist, Save Current Playlist keeping same name and directory, and Save Current Playlist with new name and/or directory.  There were too many variations for me to keep track of which operation yielded which result, but there was at least one Panic (which I wasn't able to reproduce - I think it was from Save Current Playlist with new name and/or directory).  Some failed operations resulted in proper error messages, some with error messages that were displayed too briefly to read, and some failed operations didn't yield any error message at all (such as Save Current Playlist keeping same name and directory, IIRC).

I'm not reporting that the problem is that the operations failed to achieve desired results - of course they couldn't succeed - just that there was at least one Panic and several variations of problematic error messaging.

Thanks.

chris_s:
That doesn't seem too surprising. Recovering from certain errors is still a TODO in that area of code, so it will intentionally panic instead. It may have displayed an exact error code that would be helpful to know. I can offer to fiddle around with it a bit, based on your description. Some errors can probably be handled more gracefully even in the short term.
