Deletion should delete

[Friptick]

The delete button behavior is a bit difficult to understand.

In Tracks view, delete removes the track from the list but does not delete the file. Assuming this is intended, how would you get the track back in the list, given that the file still exists but is not visible?

Is it possible for the app to simply use the filesystem as its data model, rather than (as seems to be the case) maintaining a separate database which must always be synchronized (which I cannot see how to do)?

Thanks for advice, and for your work.

Delete always deletes the file itself, only at playlists it just removes them from the playlist. Delete and Remove are already 2 separate buttons though.

Well in that case I believe I can report a bug, because, as I stated,

In Tracks view, delete removes the track from the list but does not delete the file

Steps to reproduce:

• in Tracks view, long-press Track_1
• tap Trashcan icon - Track_1 disappears
• in Simple File Manager, go to Track_1's folder - it is still there! And tapping it will play it in Simple Music Player

Conversely, in Tracks in Simple Music Player, there is the ghost of a file Track_2 which has been deleted. Long-pressing it and selecting Properties brings up the error "Track_2.mp3 doesn't exist".

In short, Simple Music Player is not showing the same thing as Simple File Manager.

What could be up?

not sure, report it as a separate issue with steps for reproduction
