The new library doesn't "point to" the old one. It is a new library, converted from the old one. They are separate libraries.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply.
I think I created some confusion here.
In addition to my "Main" Library, I have 3 other custom libraries.
-----Main Library Behavior-------------
My Main library is stored in the default location (...Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 33/Library/
When I upgrade MC from MC33 to MC34, the upgrade process automatically converts and copies this library to a new MC 34 folder in the default location (...Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 34/Library/
This behavior is exactly what you described.
-----Custom Library Behavior-----------
My custom libraries are not stored in the default location in the ...Library/Application Support/ folder.
I have 3 custom libraries, FLAC, MP3 and Test. Following is a description of the FLAC library but all 3 behave the same.
They are in a folder /Users/randy/My Stuff/ JRiver Library V33/FLAC/
When I upgrade MC from MC33 to MC34, the upgrade process automatically points MC34 to the MC 33 Library.
I now have both MC33 and MC34 pointing to the MC 33 library in the folder /Users/randy/My Stuff/ JRiver Library V33/FLAC/
I then Clone the MC33 library into a new MC34 folder after which I have 2 folders, one for each version of MC.
/Users/randy/My Stuff/ JRiver Library V33/FLAC/
/Users/randy/My Stuff/ JRiver Library V34/FLAC/
The Clone does not copy the Auto-import settings, so I then set up my auto-import settings for my 3 custom libraries.
-------------maybe I should be doing the following---------
Store all my libraries in the default folder structure. Possibly the MC upgrade process would automatically handle everything.
Store Main library in the default location (...Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 34/Library/
For my 3 custom libraries, put them in separate folders under ...Library/Application Support/J River 34/
This would result in 4 folders. Main plus 3 custom,
Main library (...Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 34/Library/
FLAC library (...Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 34/FLAC/
MP3 library (...Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 34/MP3/
Test library (...Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 34/Test/
If I set it up this way, would MC automatically copy these into the next version when I upgrade to MC35?
