Continuing the saga of library reorganization:
Building expressions is very powerful! I was able to totally revamp my media storage structure with a couple of well-built commands--over 25,000 files! Only about 60 orphan files that had various problems....
However, I frequently get the following error on playback:
"Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files. Please make sure that the path in your media library points to the right location"
Invariably, these are APL files. Doing some checking shows that the APL exists in the correct location. The master APE file resides in the same directory as the APL.
My guess as to what's happening is that in the move/rename process, some of my master APE files got renamed, killing the link to the APL. Now, I like my new APE names better, so here comes the questions:
1) Is there a way to 'test' the link files to see which ones have problems and which ones are okay?
2) Is there a way to batch-edit the link files to fix them? (Text editor?)
And an RFEs...
A) Based on my past few days experiences, I know I'd love a way (log file, big dialog box, etc.) to see what library changes were actually made. For example, applying my rename expressions to 20,000 library entries meant that only 176 files had changes. However, there's really no way to find out which files changed--is there?
Thanks!
