This is not so much a bug, but a feature with unwanted side effects:

It appears Emplode now recognizes M3U files when dragging files and directories to playlists. I took me a while to figure out why emplode was so slow in uploading, and why all tracks appeared twice after uploading.

In my MP3 directory structure, I have M3U and ASX playlist files for every album. Dragging these directories into emplode results in uploading each track twice.

I think it ought to be possible to disable this feature. At least Emplode should recognize it is uploading the same file twice.

Good thing Emplode does not recognize ASX files, otherwise I would end up with three copies.

For now, I am deleting all my M3U files and started re-uploading, as removing the doubles in Emplode is just too tedious.

Regardless, it ought to spot that it's already imported the files in this session at the very least, and skip them. It's on the list of bugs, but it's not urgent, because of the checkbox.

On fresh installs of emplode, I think those check boxes (M3U and Windows Links) should be unchecked. In other words, they should default to unchecked.

In my opinion.

And they should be remembered. In 2.0-b11, the M3U import checkbox setting is not remembered in the next Emplode session.
