I have discovered a bug which is resulting in a runaway loop under certain conditions. I have been unable to create a replicable test scenario. However, this is what has played out now three times.
I am processing a directory containing just under 4000 files, the contents of which are the result of the consolidation of about a dozen smaller directories. While consolidating these files, duplicate filenames were addressed manually by renaming them filename.mp3, filename(1).mp3, filename(2).mp3, etc… Having had no experience with Jaikoz, at that time, I was not aware that this is the exact naming scheme that it uses when auto-renaming and duplicates are found.
I’m working through the files, one artist at a time. I come across a track which already has duplicates on the filesystem named as described above. I hit ctrl-9 to run “fix filenames from tags”. CPU pegs and STDOUT repeats the same line. User interface is non-responsive.
I’m posting this message from a different machine, else I would copy/paste an example output here. If that information is crucial, I can post it later.
At this point, the only solution is to ctrl-c in the launching terminal to kill the process.
Operating system is Linux.
