Quick Housekeeping Question - moving tracks

Post by chopperhontas »

This isn't about moving full librarys and shows to a new machine (I've done that before), its about moving tracks on the machine.

Before I properly understood the software I had tracks saved in mulitple folders (for example Desktop, New Tracks, First Set, etc). All of these tracks now have MP3 and DMXIS files, but I want to put them all in one folder, and as such New Track Library Folders in Showbuddy. I thought it would be as easy as copying both files to the track directory folder (in the Showbuddy/Media Files) location. I hoped the software would recognise them when I booted it up, but it doesn't. I can import the MP3 track, but it doesn't pull the DMXIS data through. If I try to import the DMXIS file nothing happens.

Its not a critical issue, but I'd just like to clean the file structure up. So if anyone knows what to do can you let me know.

Thanks

You can do this with the latest Show Buddy Setlist 1.9.4 release. Select one or more tracks in the library, then choose [Tracks > Move selected tracks...] from the main menu.

Thanks Dave. I've been holding off installing whilst it was in the Beta phase but will upgrade now.

Just done it Dave. Great tool and will make life a lot easier.

One little question though, at some point would it be possible to keep the track folders not being used collapsed? Its a minor little thing that doesn't really matter, so feel free to ignore me! :)
