Organizer enhancements / better overriding behavior

Description (last modified by bflorat) (diff)

Jajuk 1.3.6, WinXP, German UI

Physical view tree browser

When trying to reorganize (rename) files from this view and a file already exists with the target file name, a warning pops up (correct).

This warning as several problems:
- message states a general renaming error but does not provide the information that a target file with the same name exists already (which would be helpfup to the user)
- message should be a warning, not an error
- popup is modal but does not show up in front fo jajuk (treated as separate window (ALT-TAB) but as it is modal, switching to the jajuk window does not bring up the popup as well, so user only sees a blocked jajuk)

Possible suggestion for an enhancement in case of duplicate file names (alternative fix): extend filenames automatically:

/Nightwish/Nemo.mp3
/Nightwish/Nemo(2).mp3
/Nightwish/Nemo(3).mp3

Thanks for feedback, we will take this into account for 1.4 (not sure if we will extand filename, probably not). 
Note however that this case (have to overwrite an existing file) should be very seldom as the goal of this feature is presisely to change them (actually, i don't even see a case where this can happen, can you give it to me ?)

Modale window issue will be fixed in 1.3.

Hi Bertrand,

sure I can give you the corresponding use case:
Jajuk is the best song archive I've found, but I collected songs for a while using real or iTunes and collecting on different notebooks. Now with an external HDD and the change to Jajuk the key thing for me is to consolidate both collections and add stuff I burned on DVD as well. As a result, there a a log of duplicate songs with different ID3 Tags and file locations. My file logic is $genre/$artist/$songtitle, as I am not interested in albums or track numbers. So I spend quite a lot of time in the physical view to fix ID3 tags and reorganize file names afterwards, running into duplicates every 10 min.
