[Bug 1413821] Re: Music files are imported into the Music app, rather than simply opened

 

I agree that MD5 sums could be a potential alternative however as you
stated this is easy to achieve with C++ but probably not QML. Also
maintaining and generating a list of the MD5 sums of 1000s of files at
5-50MB+ each could be very resource intensive, therefore this probably
not a realistic solution.

Furthermore I'm not sure whether content-hub should expose the original
source path this feels like it breaks security/privacy a little in my
mind, but I'm open for this being an option if the content-hub and
security guys are OK with this.

Title:
  Music files are imported into the Music app, rather than simply opened

Status in File Manager application for Ubuntu devices:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently the File Manager uses Content Hub to send audio files being
  "opened" to the Music app. However, the files are actually imported
  when sent via Content Hub. This causes duplicate entries of the files
  if they are "opened" from the user's Music directory. The imported
  files will get stored to the user's $HOME/Music/Imported/mm/dd/
  directory.

  It'd be better if the File Manager used the "file:///" URI handler
  when prompting the user to "Open with" the Music app.  Any use of
  Content Hub to send files to the Music app should be made clear that
  the action will import the song rather then just open the current
  location.
