Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

Amarok 1.4 has both automatic scoring and an iTunes-like manual rating system. Amarok devs: thank you, thank you, *thank you* for giving me the choice: automatic scoring is a great idea, but it gets messed up by things like shuffle mode and other people listening to my music.

My problem is: the "Favourite Tracks by $artist" list puts the tracks in auto-score order. I have song with a rating of 5 stars that goes below songs with 2.5 stars because I was jumping around my playlist (I think the logic is "if he skipped the song, he must not like it").

So, if I'm using the rating system instead of auto-scoring, I think that my Favourite Tracks ought to be ordered by rating.

Here's a screenshot with the Score system enabled. Notice that:

1. Scores have been calculated, even though I don't use them (this is fine, maybe over the long term they'll become accurate and I'll start using them)

2. The order of the Favourite Tracks (which is the same in both screenshots) is determined by score

This bug is *not* a duplicate of KDE 134893, though it is very similar.

Patch submitted to KDE Bugzilla (this time, it actually fixes the bug in question, not just a similar-sounding dupe... I know this, because I posted the patch).

Just to know if this can be closed, Amarok 1.4.5 was released recently, which should have the patch Jon submitted. Can we confirm that behavior is now correct to close the bug?
