Comment 6 for bug 587544

I appear to have the same problem.

gtkod would not allow me to <Quit> unless I saved changes. I had not done anything. I did not want to save changes.

gtkpod forced changes on my ipod library that I had not requested and I did not want it to make.

It happend like this:

1. ipod alread mounted
2. launch gtkpod
3. gtkpod asked me to choose which model of ipod i had
4. gtkpod did not have my model, so I closed the window
5. I selected <file / Quit>
6. gtkpod asked if I wanted to save my changes - 'quit without saving' was shaded out.
7. I did <Alt-W> to quite without saving anyway, and the save window went away, but gtkpod stayed open.
8. So I tried 5. again and the same thing (6. & 7.) happend.
9. So I pressed [x] to close the window without saving changes
10. gtkpod said something like: "Synchronzing"
11. My ipod said: "Synchronizing"
12. gtkpod said: "Duplicate detection / The following 25 duplicate tracks have been removed.", and it listed 25 tracks it claimed to have deleted from my ipod.
13. I thought, unlucky for me. I didn't ask anyone to delete any of my tunes of my ipod. I thought, I came here to put tunes on my ipod, not take them off. I thought, I'm not very happy about this.

Now gtkpod might have been doing me a favour if it really was removing duplicates. But I would rather have a choice. And be left to decide for myself if they are indeed duplicates. In any case, I don't want any automated file removal from my personal directories, thank you. Even if I did, I would not trust file deletion to a program that refused to go away quietly when I told it to.

Hope this helps.
