Repairing a playlist misbehaves, replaces and duplicates selected matched tracks...

listFix() v2.8.0

The steps described here, were followed on a completely broken playlist containing 24 unmatched tracks.

Steps:

1. Open the playlist needing repair from the Playlist Directories pane into the Playlist Editor, ready for editing.

2. Click the magic wand icon on the toolbar to initiate the auto repair function for all of 24 tracks.

3. Cancel the "Select Closest Matches" process dialogue as soon as it has completed detecting the first batch of track matches. (These will be the exact track matches, each one marked by a green check mark/tick).

4. Click on the diskette icon on the toolbar to save the first round of track matches—the exact matches. (The green check marks, should now have changed into a green "OK" icon. Note, too, that after now having saved the playlist, the "Reload" icon on the toolbar is dulled.)

5. Select all the 13 unmatched tracks (indicated by a red & white exclamation marker to the right of the track number).

6. Right-click on the 13-track selection.

7. Select and initiate "Repair Playlist" on the context menu.

8. Allow the "Select Closest Matches" process to complete, and once the list of matched track are presented in the "Select Closest Matches" dialogue, immediately click "OK" to accept all the recommendations, just as they are presented.

9. Now, back in the Playlist Editor, notice the changes: There are green checkmarks next to 13 tracks, indicating they've been "repaired". However, 5 tracks have new (i.e. previously absent) red exclamation marks next to them.

10. Press the diskette button on the toolbar to save the list as presented in step 9. The "OK" icon should appear next to the newly saved, 13 matched tracks.

11. Repeat steps 5-8 on the number of tracks shown in step 9 shown to display a new red exclamation mark next to it.

12. Again, back in the Playlist Editor, notice these new changes: There are green checkmarks next to the newly repaired tracks (5 in this instance) in the playlist, indicating they've been "repaired". However, the 5 tracks that were repaired are duplicates of the 5 tracks, each of which still bears the new red exclamation marks next to them.

Issue:

1. Matched tracks are discarded, duplicated, etc, due to the malfunction/misbehaviour of the repair process under the circumstances describe. The issue is repeatable.
