New Otto -- Auto Import of Folders
« on: October 10, 2006, 05:43:22 pm »
Build 89, just out, modifies the way we expose auto import.  Check under Tools for 3 new options.

Also, we've changed "Watch Folders" to "Folders" and brought back your friend, Otto.  It's Auto-import again.

We hope it's more intuitive and gives you what you need.

If you don't like Otto, turn him off.  Tools/Auto-import Options.  But you can still run an import manually by choosing "Run Auto-import Now" or import a single folder by choosing "Import Folder".

A new toolbar button was added for running Otto.

Auto-import takes almost no CPU and should automatically find new files or changes within one minute.

And a Windows Message command?   ;)

Ahhh... Beggars can't be choosers.  I love it anyway (with or without the /MCC command)!!  Thanks guys!   ;D

Thank you Jim!

It's way cool to suggest a change one day and see it implemented the next.

RJ--

I think you'll find that most feature requests are implemented the next day, second day at the latest.

Yeah... Usually only a day or two.   ;)

As is, its not a dealbreaker for me migrating to MC 12, it just means:

a) We need a better/easier way to manually initate Otto.

4. To clunky to get into Tools-Options-Library to run manual imports now (since I have "Otto's Auto" disabled).

Still.... I'm very happy.  And as I posted earlier... Otto is working quite well for my HTPC.

I really like the new approach, it seems more clear what is going on and how to control it.

Thanks!
