Amarok Digest, Vol 131, Issue 1

[Christian Mahr]

Hi all

I have actually manually downgraded to 2.9.0 (qt4 based, tumbleweed) in 
my system since I was not satisfied with the latest 2.9.70 qt5 based 
version. there are quite a lot of things not working which worked in 
2.9.0 like meta data editing, spawning a dolpin, modifying playlist 
presentation ...

How will the 2.9.70 be proceeded?

Best regards

     Christian
