Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

If a user drags and drops songs from their Music Library to a device on which the songs are already stored, a dialogue box asks them whether the songs on the device should be overwritten (screenshot attached).

Because the box doesn't have "yes/no to all" buttons or an option to cancel, if a user accidentally drags a large number of songs to their device that are already on there, they face a time consuming and repetitive task of having then click yes/no on each dialogue box, one-by-one.

Could I suggest adding yes/no to all buttons, along with a cancel button, to this box?

I can confirm that this is happening. You get the options to replace, skip or cancel.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.

feature request is not a papercut

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.
