Otto is feisty and broken
jgreen:
Matt/JimH--
I don't think Otto's broken by any means, and he's overwhelmingly useful. But in another post Glynor mentioned the "fix broken links" issue. Basically, with Otto looking at removable media (firewire drives), "fix broken links" can result in large chunks of data being booted from the library.
Also, it really is clunky to get into 'tools/options/library" to edit watch folders. You have a direct route to add a folder under tools, that should be the path straight to Otto Central.
Matt:
There's no real harm in letting otto remove and re-add files from removable disks. It won't need to reanalyze the files, so speed isn't a real issue.
Of course, there's also the option under Tasks to tell otto to leave removable disks alone.

I think this should be a default option if not forced. It's fine for
things like APE files where the tags can be quickly restored.
However for things like video/images where the information
can just be lost permanently, that seems a dangerous situation to me...
It's not something I thought about till it removed half my library,
I then posted the "Where Otto works badly" post
jgreen:
Much agreement, ChriZ.
It's not an issue with Otto, just a matter of resetting the defaults now that Otto's part of the process. Certain settings (fix broken links with network drives disabled) now become fairly risky and a potential headache for new users and the Help Desk.
JimH:
We'll look at the default settings. Thanks.
