Hi J River,
I am trying to import Mpl playlists into MC12, so far I was not successful.
Don't know whether it is a bug or lack of how-to.
Here my installation: MC11.193 and MC12.0.57 installed in parallel.
1) I can easily import Mpl playlists into MC11, either by using
1a) the import command on the MC11 menu, or
1b) right clicking import on Windows Explorer.
This here is a problem, as with two MC's installed, there is only one import command in Windows Explorer. Finding out with which version import works is pure guesswork (it's MC11).
In my opinion there should be two different and independent Windows Explorer entries, one for MC11 and one for MC12. (Maybe some command to define the standard MC installation similar to IE)
2) Trying to do the same in MC 12:
2a) Importing the Mpl playlist from Windows Explorer does not work as it starts MC11 import.
2b) I have a folder of about 250 images named SalvadorDali. I moved the mpl file into the same folder and moved the folder into D:\Media\Image\Arts for Otto to recognize.
I have set D:\Media\Image as Watch folder assuming that it will watch all subfolders as well.
I can see the images in MC12 as a playlist in Recently Imported, but with no additional tags from the mpl playlist. The name field carries the given filename and not the one defined in the mpl playlist. Not a single tag is displayed from the mpl playlist.
Either I do something wrong or the mpl file ist not imported by Otto. ? I assume that Otto is working properly as the images are imported. Bear in mind: It works in MC11, so no faults with the playlists.
Any help?
