Topic: cog 0.07, empty playlist after enabling 10.5.1 'fast user switching'

First of all, great player!!!

Situation:
After adding a extra user, and enabling fast user switching and opening cog, the playlist was empty, but the summed up timer underneath shows the correct length of the playlist, when I press next button and play, the music starts playing... thats very strange... "so no names or whatever in the playlist"

When editing 'playlist view bar', "#,Album, Artist, Genre, Length, Title, Track, Year" I disabled all of them... than re-enabled... all
And now the playlist has double FIELDS???,

So the bar shows:
ARTIST/ALBUM/ TRACK/ETC                                +                          ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACK/ETC
Pink Floyd/Dark Side of the Moon/ 01/                                              Pink Floyd/Dark Side of the Moon/ 01/


I already removed cog, from the applications folder and reinstalled the fresh one from the DMG but no difference?
Will disable fast user switching and try if the problem disappears, and keep you updated!

10.5.1 Intel, macpro

There is a bug with 0.07 and leopard. It has been fixed in the latest nightlies, but be warned that they are currently unstable. As a workaround with 0.07, you can delete the ~/Library/Preferences/org.cogx.cog.plist file and it should be working again.

deleting 'org.cogx.cog.plist' file fixed this! for both users!

I will try if I'm able to reproduce this strange behaviour...

thanks for super fast response!

It's a known issue, and has been fixed in the nightly. To reproduce it, you just need to fiddle with the columns on 10.5.

Yep the problem is back AGAIN :-(

I try using the nightly build 0.08r651
