Move Files to Collection

[Moritz Hobe]

Hi

I think, this is a typical case of "It's not a bug, it's a feature".
Imagine you have several folders, which you want to move to your collection 
(cool feature by the way, didn't know it yet :)).
Most people would feel rather annoyed if they had to remove all those 
empty "skeletons" by hand, while the folders are not supposed to contain any 
files anymore.

Just my opinion, I don't know what this function ought to be like, but I 
think, I'd be happy about Amarok removing the directory.
Of course, in your case, it's rather a bug than a feature.

A solution could be:
If you select the folder and add it to the collection, the folder is removed.
If you select the files themselves, the folder is not removed.
