MMW5 mishandles syncing when there isn't enough space [#18360]

[Yerushalmi]

Hi,

I have a SansaClip Sport media player, and far too many podcasts that can fit on it at a time.

In MediaMonkey 4, this was not a problem. When I tried to sync, it would simply halt the transfer the moment it noticed there was no longer enough room.

But in MediaMonkey 5, it continues trying and failing to copy all of the rest of the files, which means the sync takes much longer than it should. More importantly, MMW5 fails to take note of which files it did and did not succeed in transferring. When I pull up the contents of the SansaClip in MediaMonkey, ALL of the files appear - whether they actually exist on that drive or not. I have to eject and reconnect it before MMW5 notices that half the files it thinks are there don't actually exist.

Hi,
just tested and for me the dialog warning that there isn't enough space is there, see:

Maybe you checked '[x] Don't show this again' on the dialog in the past.
in tthat case you can re-activate the dialog in Options > Confirmations
[x] Confirm sync operation when there's not enough space available:

Sorry - I should have clarified. I too receive the warning at the beginning; I'm referring to the two versions' respective behavior after you click Yes. MM4 loaded whatever it could and then stopped when there was no more room; MM5 doesn't stop when there's no more room, but rather continues through the entire list of files, and then acts like all of them are on the drive even though it should know better (based on the "here's the list of files I couldn't transfer" popup it gives you at the end).

More information if necessary: I'm on a Windows 10 ARM laptop (Samsung Galaxy Book), running MediaMonkey version 5.0.1.2433.

You are right, just testing this and I see the same!
