02. Turned On the Batch Button

Quote from: jgreen on April 15, 2007, 09:20:10 pm

YESSSSS!

My sentiments exactly

Kingsparta, thanks for the continued work on this plugin.
I don't use many MC plugins, but the one's I do use really are right out of the top drawer. For me, MC would not be the same without them.
Best wishes from everyone in our house go out to yourself and Sue. I trust everything's going as well as it can do?

-marko.

Replacing Filename (path) doesn't seem to work as expected. The backslashes in the path are replaced with spaces and the colon deleted. I can't see that I've set it to do that and can't figure out a workaround. For example, replace "Albums\Z" with "Albums\T-Z\Z" gives current field data of "D:\Media\Mp3\Albums\Z-Trip-Shifting_Gears-(Advance)-2005-RNS\" but a preview of "D Media Mp3 Albums T-Z Z-Trip-Shifting_Gears-(Advance)-2005-RNS ".

Humm, i will look at it.

It is fixed, 2.0.10 is up for download.

I was trying to make sure file names did not contain chrs that should not be there, I was a bit too aggressive.

Hmm.. is Auto Batch working, or is it disabled? It looks like it may be working, but at the end the files are unchanged, whereas Save Preview Data works a treat.

KingSparta · « **Reply #58 on:** April 19, 2007, 10:05:10 am »

Well I Left A Line Out, That Would Save the Data If You Did Not Have Ask To Save Prompt Checked, Actually by Mistake.

2.0.11 Fixes It

PushiTooL · « **Reply #59 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:07:51 am »

Sorry to continue being a pain Sparta but it seems to me that as the batch size is increased, Auto Batch takes exponentially more time to complete. For example, batching 10 files may take say a second per file, whereas 100 files seems to take perhaps 10 seconds per file and 1000 files maybe a minute a file.

PushiTooL · « **Reply #60 on:** April 21, 2007, 08:21:07 am »

I should've also mentioned that after a decent sized Auto Batch, Media Center can continue taking up a fair chunk of CPU power after the batch has finished (until MC is closed down). On my system it's constantly around 50% (of 3.0GHz).

MC May Store The Changed Tags, Until It Feeds All the Changes To There tagging system and then change it in the file.

Try 2.0.12, I found a problem

PushiTooL · « **Reply #62 on:** April 21, 2007, 10:45:44 am »

You're the man! Just batched 3000 tracks in 10 mins with 2.0.12.

Thanks very much Sparta, great work.

KingSparta · « **Reply #65 on:** April 24, 2007, 01:27:05 pm »

Uninstall, download it again and re-install since it is working for others.

I know you have a lot on your plate atm over there in Real Life™. Are you still taking calls on replace master?

I have an empty 'other' tab.
any ideas?
what kind of info might be helpful to you?

The previous version gave us a 'find all' option, along with a 'search from rear' option and defaulted to 'search from front'.
As far as I can see, v2.012 does a 'find all', replacing every instance of the search string, despite '#' being set to just 1.

With the previous version, we could turn off replace all, enable search from rear, then have it replace the first instance of the search string it found with the replace text and move on to the next file. Is this currently possible with v2.0.12? If it is possible, could you please chuck a pointer in my direction as I'm just not seeing it atm.

thanks,
-marko.

I need to get back to it sometime.

my Real Life™ is a bit full

Employees I can't figure them out sometimes.

I have been thinking about being a Wal-Mart greeter (I may need to be a bit older), the most stress i would have is what row I should get the next cart from.

I'd like to have a used car lot, with some pennants, just for the effect.

I did install fresh Windows recently so I'm probably missing some runtime dll. Just don't know what.
Do you still use VB6 (although I already tried to install vb6 runtimes)?

King, I tried using Replace Master to replace the Removable tag's value of 0 to 1 but couldn't get it to work. Did I do something wrong?

I don't think all fields are editable.

One of my primary uses for this truly wonderful plugin is to batch rename actual files. I found that with the 2.xx series, this was either not possible, or was very difficult to achieve, so I stuck with the primary release, v0.0.24 which makes the task particularly easy to do.

Start from rear, find ., replace everything after found item with string_[######], job done.

Can this be done with v2? and if so, how? and if no, has development of replace master been permanently shelved, meaning that I should stick with v0.0.24?
