AFAIK, this can be solved easily, when importing songs, RB should check if files are on a mount. If they are, only delete em when mount is actually mounted, else just temporarily hide em. The mounting part is easy, the hiding involves a bit more work. Now if only my C skills were a bit better... Greetings, Ruben On Fri, 2004-06-25 at 16:39 +0100, A. S.
