Using amaroK 1.2-beta2 on KDE 3.3.2 level \"a\" on SUSE 9.2,
I find that adding too many directories and files at once (Add Media) causes crashes.

Too much means, specifically, that I attempted to add 3.9GB, or 767 files in 72 folders from a local directory /media/Music/...

Adding the music with a few directories at a time works well.

Oh, and Im using the arts engine.

Have the same Problem using the same Software

well, be more specific. offer the latest console output. look at the collection_scan.log and report the last stuff it added before crashing.

finally: get a valid backtrace (see faq) and report all your component versions.

i hardly believe it has anything to do with the amount of dirs. (220gb here)

Hi!

I had the same problem too. From a particular foldersize on, amarok crashed building a collection.
So I removed my separately builded playlists from every folder and amarok was able to finish.
My System is Debian Unstable - Amarok 1-2beta3 (compiled with enabled mysql)- KDE 3.3.2.

ah, i think i know where this comes from. you might simply wanna try to disable \"import playlists\" in your collection setup.

so resume: it\'s not the amount of songs, but the amount of playlists we scan.

Does this still happen with CVS? There\'s been lots of fixes there lately.
