Can we please have the particle info written to sidecar files?  At present if you need to rebuild the Library you lose all the meta data which means you have to recreate them all from scratch.
Thanks

And while you're at it, please allow sidecars to be stored in a custom location (like with coverart) .

Coverart can be placed in a custom location?

[InflatableMouse]

lol

Yes.

Tools/Options/File Location - Cover Art: Audio mode: In a specified folder.

I would really like the same options for Sidecars.

Edit: ah I just realized you meant for video - duh. They just bother me less than the sidecar file but fair is fair, that should be nice too to have in a custom location.

Yeah, the endless .jpg files next to every tv episode kinda bug me.

Me too, especially with the sidecar files.  I have to wade thru 3 files for every media file.  It was discussed somewhat passionately some time back, and Matt said that keeping them with the actual video files made it easier to prevent duplicating names, but I'm sure a 'duplicate' folder structure that started in a custom location would resolve that issue, or a clever naming convention would probably work too.

Here's to hoping!

Apologies for the hijack Nathan, didn't mean for this to go off track.

No probs there are a few things that need addressing but...  I thought I'd try requesting one thing at a time (instead of my usual summary of Particle things to fix).

It MC supported pushing the info into a sidecar file it would help solve the issue of creating them for others or using YADB to hold the info.  For example, as I've tagged up my Eagles Music Video by track, I could do a Update Tags from Library to push the data into the Sidecar file and just post it online or send to Matt who then would not have to create this from scratch for the disc I sent him.
