Re: [Krename-users] krename recent errors

[Jared <lis...@le...>]

I take that back.  Amarok's acting weird, too.  It can still see and
play my music files, but it gives a rather unhelpful error on startup:

The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.

Also, if I open the properties for a file while it's playing, it'll show
me the details of the metadata and whatnot, but if I click the link to
open the directory containing the file, that operation silently fails.

I'm guessing this is related to the the krename issues I described
below.  Maybe some kind of KIO issue?  Just grasping at straws.  I can't
find any good way to troubleshoot either of these.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
