What happens when I rename a directory or file that has already been scanned?

Hmm, this is unexpected (but good to know):

  1. Edit metadata for an album, added TEST as a value for Version Info.
  2. Note the full path to one of the tracks in the album
  3. Rename the album directory on the file system
  4. Go back to Roon, track will not play
  5. Now do a Force Rescan on the Watched Folder
  6. Old album is deleted from Roon’s database
  7. New album is added with Version Info retained (note new full path to the tracks)

Interesting, would be nice if someone from the dev team can confirm this?
