[FEATURE REQUEST] Automatically updating missing tracks

[z9xx7o0]

Currently, in Namida, when I move a track / rename the file, it detects it as a new track, so I have to recreate my playlists, and everything is messed up. So I think there should be an option where if a track is renamed, moved to a different folder, change the file type, or really any change where the track is still the same, instead of considering it as a new track, it should just detect its the same track (just like detecting duplicates). I constantly redownload my songs, which makes it hard to rearrange them and recreate the playlists and everything. I know there is an option where I can manually change the new file location, but that takes time if I have to do multiple or if I moved each track into a separate folder.

well we can't just point tracks to their new path, everything is saved by its path, meaning we need to actually replace all entries with the new path and thats quite a heavy task, a missing track needs to be updated in

• all playlists
• all queues
• all history days
• player queue and selected tracks
  

  namida/lib/controller/edit_delete_controller.dart

  Lines 92 to 111 in 1f10167

  	Future<void> updateTrackPathInEveryPartOfNamida(Track oldTrack, String newPath) async {
  	final newtrlist = await Indexer.inst.convertPathToTrack([newPath]);
  	if (newtrlist.isEmpty) return;
  	final newTrack = newtrlist.first;
  	await Future.wait([
  	// --- Queues ---
  	QueueController.inst.replaceTrackInAllQueues(oldTrack, newTrack),
  	// --- Player Queue ---
  	Player.inst.replaceAllTracksInQueue(oldTrack, newTrack),
  	// --- Playlists & Favourites---
  	PlaylistController.inst.replaceTrackInAllPlaylists(oldTrack, newTrack),
  	// --- History---
  	HistoryController.inst.replaceAllTracksInsideHistory(oldTrack, newTrack),
  	]);
  	// --- Selected Tracks ---
  	SelectedTracksController.inst.replaceThisTrack(oldTrack, newTrack);
  	}

i can think about a separate screen with missing tracks and their suggestions, but automatically identifying seems like a real no

[z9xx7o0]

Can't the tracks be identified just like duplicates can? Or provide a new folder for multiple tracks, and each track automatically finds its match. Or at least when manually selecting a new path, there could be a recommended track at the top.

[MSOB7YY]

the identification part is easy, but automatically updating is not possible

• recommended track at top:
  • that already exists, check the video below, the first one has no possible matches while the second has

update.missing.track.mp4

• providing a new screen with all missing tracks and their possible matches:
  • is what im thinking about

[z9xx7o0]

When adding the missing tracks page, is it possible to add an "update all to recommend" button? So each track that is missing that has a recommended track will get updated to that track. Also, it will be important to be able to delete missing tracks from that page because if I wanted to delete a track for good purposely, I should also be able to remove it from the page.

@z9xx7o0 as mentioned, its now implemented, will be found inside indexer page.
about removing missing tracks, well uhh not now, there should be a way to remove tracks from whole database first.. smth that idk if i should implement

just a note, updating ~200 tracks took around 20 seconds (as for 41k history + 2200 queue + 19 playlist)
