Interrupted sync - drowning in messages
« on: August 12, 2005, 02:58:03 pm »

Sometimes I interrupt a sync, generally this happens when I see that MC deletes a lot of files from my iPod and I want to check that I really have the right playlists checked for the sync. For certain reasons I have a number of playlist included in my sync, so when I do this I get 90-100 message windows stating that the synchronisation couldn't be completed. These message windows are not focused so I cannot push the Enter key to OK the window, and each message window has its own size and the OK button in its own position. This means that the procedure goes:
Move the pointer to the OK button and klick it. Move the pointer to the OK button and klick it. Move the pointer to the OK button and klick it. Move the pointer to the OK button and klick it. Move the pointer to the OK button and klick it...

Let's just say this is most fun the firs twenty times. The following eighty are rather annoying.

What I would like is an extra button in the message window for "No more messages for this sync".  If the messages could be acknowledged the with the Enter key, that woud be nice too.

If the administrators feel that this posting belongs to the Handheld part of the forum, please move it. I put it under Media Center since I assume this is a general behaviour for MC and not related to iPod or any other specific device.

Hi Steve,

Here are the message windows I get (taken from a small test sync):

Message window 1 (shown only once, I beleive)
Headline:" Are you sure you want to cancel the operation in progress?"


Message window 2
Headline: "Handheld error"
Text:
"Transfer errors (1 files)

Transfer failed"

Message window 3
Headline: "Handheld error"
Text:
"Failed to add to playlist 'Pardans Blues PA1 (Pardans-Pardans Blues PA1)': 1 files

C:\Musikarkiv\Jimi_Hendrix... rest of path"




The double quotation marks (" ") are mine; the single ones (' ') are from the popup windows.

I hope this will give you something to work with.

Are you only seeing message window 3 repeating, or all of them?

Just message window 3. It seems to appear once for each affected playlist.

OK. I just modified that. It will not do that in the future.

Thanks,
