Suggestion

[Andreas Heinz]

Hi,

yesterday evening it hit me again :(
i was searching for an artist and hit enter out of habit. but amaroks 
behavior was even worse than i had described in my first mail.
i let amarok run and do what it wanted. after about half an hour amarok 
had put 18000 tracks into the playlist.
i have in mind, that muesli told it should be a matter of seconds for 
amarok to do so, but this isn't true for me.

1.) did i muesli really mean it should be a matter of seconds for amarok 
population > 10.000 tracks into the playlist? and if so, what could be 
my / jamies problem?
2.) if > 10.000 tracks is a problem for amarok, wouldnt it make sense to 
letting amarok ask bevor doing such a huge task?
e.g. when i mark let's say >100 mails in thunderbird hat hinter enter 
unintenionally. thunderbird asks me that this job could end up in an 
unusable system, and if i really want ot open these > 100 Mails.
i think such kind of "error prevention" would be very nice for amarok too :)

thanks for reading
Andreas
