[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#432953: kid3 not allowing creation of new export/import formats

[Paulo Marcel Coelho Aragão]

Package: kid3
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: normal

I'm in the middle of ripping a 1000+ CD collection and kid3 is being
invaluable to organize the tags of the massive number of MP3 files. I
tried all ID3-taggers available in my distribution (Debian Lenny) and
settled down finally to easytag and kid3.

kid3's import/export features are unmatched. However, I'm not being able
to create new import/export formats. I tried:

1) Adding them through the import/export dialogs, by editing the custom
format and saving the settings. When I start kid3 next, the formats I
created are gone.

2) Adding them directly to kid3c:

ExportFormatHeaders
ExportFormatNames
ExportFormatTracks
ExportFormatTrailers
ImportFormatHeaders
ImportFormatIdx
ImportFormatNames
ImportFormatTracks

but the same thing happens: when I start kid3 next, the formats are
gone. I tried to add them to the beginning, middle of end of each list,
but the result is the same. I took the care of updating
Headers/Names/Tracks/Trailers in sync. I thought that the *Idx section
would control the number of formats, so I increased them, but no joy:
the new format would be discarded.

It seems like kid3 is always resetting export/import formats to their
original values.

Am I doing something wrong or perhaps missing something, or is this
really a bug in kid3 ?

Thanks
Paulo
