Playlist problem
AudibleImagery:
--- Quote from: EnglishTiger on March 26, 2024, 04:24:29 am ---And one place where that will happen is if you select one of the categories in the upper pane of a Panes View and then tell MC to delete it - that doesn't just delete the "Entry" it also deletes everything that is using that "Entry"
--- End quote ---
I never delete categories in the Panes View.
EnglishTiger:
NEVER have MC, or any other software, Open while an Apple OS update is downloading, preparing itself for Install or when it asks for a Restart to happen as all sorts of strange things can, and will happen, while an OS Update is doing it's thing.

@Matt, JRiver:
Is it possible that some invalid ID/name/expression in playlistx.jmd is causing its loading/parsing to fail, perhaps due to mismatched parenthesis? Any other possible cause of corruption? A custom field name or filename written as composed/decomposed format comes to mind.

If that were the case, I think we'd have seen this long ago, and from multiple people.
Backing up daily would be a good idea. Running a utility to check memory and disk also.
Englishtiger's comment on OS updates could explain it.
zybex:
I think it's unlikely too, but it may be triggered by some specific character that AudibleImagery may have in his filenames or fields. There were recent changes to the handling of composed/decomposed chars in macos.
@Audible:
Jim is right that you should test your disk.
To rule out this type of corruption perhaps you can do this: the next time it happens, do NOT close MC; find this playlistx.jmd file in your library folder and make a copy of it to some other location. Then restart MC and make another copy of the same file. Then share both files here.
