Hello,

I found it is possible to delete algums and artists from while they still have songs attached to them. Thsi makes it very simple to completely destroy any existing catalogue.

Would it be possible to add a check beforehand so artist and/or albums can not be deleted when they have songs attached?

Joomla 3.3, latest release donwloaded today.

Thanks,

Erik

    well at the moment there's no such function. I mean, when an artist is deleted, all its albums and songs will be deleted too (logically), but there is not a pre-check.. precisely because many users want to have the ability to be able to delete a whole artist "at once", and not need to delete each song one by one which would be very tedious work...

    If you are left with two conflicting wishes, and one of them poses a serious risk of loosing or damaging the contents, my chooice would be to make a preference so one can choose to either be safe allow for the option and run the risk.

    Deleting the album in my case did not result in the removal of the attached underlying track data.

      Thanks Erik, will definitely consider adding this option into the component.
