beets modify is not moving artifacts

Open dagobert opened this issue 11 years ago • 8 comments

When I use

beets modify -w ...

and the changes result in beets moving the files to a different directory, this plugin does not move the artifacts with it.

Sorry you guys have been experiencing issues. I'll try to spend some time looking into this and get a fix out.

It's all good, this is definitely a step in the right direction - the lack of this feature has been stopping me from using beets for years. I don't know how you're going to hook the other actions though, since I think they work in a file-centric way :-/

Any thoughts on how to deal with this one?

I got the same issue with beet move : it forgot to move the artifacts.

So just to be clear, copyarticfacts only works on beet import and not on beet move?

copyartifacts was initially created for beet import, the current release available from PyPI has that and it works well. There's been some development to support beet move - and for the most part it works - however there's still some open bugs that should probably be ironed out before release.

If you want to give it a go, you can install the development version from GitHub, I've updated the README
