Hi,

The report after the import summary tells you that x were imported and y failed. there is a checkbox to show detailed summary, but this means wading through thousands of lines to find the failed files. Would it be useful to others to have a detailed failed file summary with just the y files listed?

I usually select all and copy to notepad.  I think you have to drag selection over all the text, though.  Or there is a right-click select all item.  Somehow I copy it to notepad and search for fail in there.

But yes, this should be enhanced.

[richard.e.morton]

yeah, i've done the notepad thing, but when you have 40000 items notepad starts to choke... and a list of failures shouldn't be hard to implement...

yep.

Try Notepad++ if it can't handle the large amount of data.

Obviously these are workarounds to something that really could and should be added.  If it simply listed the failures first -- or anything that was problematic -- and then listed the rest of the list, that would be fine.

I actually wouldn't need to see the successful items but there could be two checkboxes.  It would start with the number of each type (good / bad) and then there would be a checkbox to show Failures and Successes.

I can't recall lately getting a fail so I can't relate to that but it would be useful to identify those fails easier. The thing that bothers me about the dialog box is that I always want to look at the details just to make sure it got all the files I knew I was putting in. That involves checking the box and then maximizing the window (who can read all that in the little dialog?). Reducing the number of clicks would be nice whether that is automatically maximizing the dialog if the checkbox is clicked or copying to the clipboard with launching the default text editor with the clipboard data would be nice.

I usually use auto import and therefore don't even see what may have failed on import.  I'm just assuming that all my FLAC music is in good condition and importing as expected.

That's assuming MC or the flac plugin knows it should import FLAC as audio, not data.

[richard.e.morton]

of course it does...

anyway, if it didn't it'd be very quickly apparent - their wouldn't be any audio to play!

Yeah, it's a drag if you have to re-import thousands of them, because you installed a "yet another new and fast" computer, and MC just gives you another puzzle to solve, how to locate the failed files.  Mostly due to plug-in failures or the absence of them.

Though, if you just do a second import on top of the first, and then show the details, the list no longer contains the imported ones.  So it's gets shorter and more or less readable.

None the less, such a feature "show only failed ones", or better "save the failed ones" would be welcomed.
