Emplode plsylist hierarchy button crash

Here's the bug:

1. Emplode launched with multiple (2 in my case) playlists at the top level (right under the playlist item in the tree pane).
2. Create a new playlist at the top level.
3. Select the "Playlist" item in the tree view to show the top level lists in the right pane if not already shown.
4. Click on the second last playlist from the bottom (formerly the last paylist).
5. BUG 1: Note that the DOWN ARROW button is greyed out. Emplode still thinks this is the last item.
6. Click on the last playlist (at the bottom) which is the one you just created in step 2
7. BUG 2: Note that teh DOWN ARROW button is is NOT grey. Emplode thinks this item IS NOT the last.
8. Press the DOWN ARROW button.
9. BUG 3: Emplode generates an error and crashes.

Appologies if this has already been mentioned. I was just about to start a transfer before hitting the sack and thought I'd quickly get this online.

Feck. Good catch. Tough to fix cleanly, though.

Essentially, it's because "Unattached Items" is still in there, just not displayed. Thus, the list count (w/o Unattached) doesn't agree with the playlist child count (inc. Unattached), and the button is erroneously enabled.

This causes an ASSERT in the debug build, or the crash that you're seeing in the release build.

Anyway, I'm out of the office until next week, so I'll put it into the bug database and see if someone else wants to fix it.

You're lucky I'm not really pounding on emplode. :)

BTW, did you get the part about emplode putting your focus in limbo after editing playlist prefs in another thread? I don't think I emailed that one.

Pound on it. Feel free. Otherwise, we might never know about any bugs in it. Different people use different features. I never use the track up/down buttons, so I would never have spotted this bug.

And, no, I didn't do anything about the other thing. I rarely use the keyboard for using emplode. Maybe I should...

Well, the only reason I used the track up/down buttons was because dragging the items up/down didn't seem to be working. I'll try that again too.

The focus thing I hope you do fix. I need it pretty badly to be able to use the keyboard macro software (which I'm using to modify playlist properties quickly).

Hold down Alt when dragging to reorder a playlist.

Do you anticipate that this "Alt" behavior will be permanent?

Hi.

It shouldn't be (IMHO), most Windows programs (if not all) default to the move operation when draging an item within one list.
