Using tag info
rafverhoogen:
I have the impression this has not been done in the mac version.
XLS and Numbers give problems
so far i have been able to take out the fields that cause problems and i have a working solution. However i feel it is tedious to start exporting, importing and exporting to html when all the info is in the library.
Thought on using the track info visualisation (this would be the best solution) but not implemented in mac. Then i went to web remote where i am working on changing the html (thanks for the help by the way) and getting more info onto the web, but there i am now stuck on the java part of it.
The getinfo command generates a file and works different then the info command and since i am not a java person (i have to do it with or html or xsl)
i am now starting to wonder if perhaps i should wait for track info visualisation to be present in the mac version, but i have no idea if this will come and if yes when this will come.
MrC:
I'm able to export correctly to CSV, even field that contain multi-line data (such as Lyrics). Both Numbers 3.0.1 and 2.3 open the format the file correctly. I'm not saying you aren't having a problem, but in general it works.
I can't respond to when visualizations will be ready. I'd imagine it will be a while though.
There currently is no print capability in MC on the Mac, so there's no Print List command like on the Windows version.
GetInfo generates an MPL file. This is a format commonly used by MC. It is a simple XML file, where each Item represents a track, and each Field within the Item represents an MC field. They are pretty easy to parse, but I can imagine it more troubling if you are trying to use JavaScript. (I parse or generate them frequently, but am using Perl and XML parsing code).
If you have a Windows box, you could enable Library Server on the Mac MC, and connect a Windows MC client to it, and print from there.
I'm not really certain what you're ultimately trying to do - I think you're wanting to print out an inventory with pictures, or generate HTML to view your library outside of MC. If I don't have this correctly, maybe you can elaborate.
rafverhoogen:
Thanks Mrc
Maybe i should try in Perl so if you allow me another 2 questions :
1. do you have a small example perl script
2. in the mac where do you store the scripts ? in the package content ? since that is where the rest of web stuff is saved
thanks

MrC:
I'm happy to help where I can. I'm still at a loss as to what you're ultimately trying to accomplish (see my last sentence above). You can elaborate?
vagskal:
I am also not sure what you are trying to do.
When I checked out software to use (which resulted in me selecting MC) I think I had a look at Collectorz and it was based on a relational database if I am not mistaken. MC is not, but can do a lot of other cool stuff. However, you cannot get all your established relationships in a relational database to the (flat) database MC is using if that is what you are trying to accomplish.
PS. I see now that this is the forum section for the Mac version, which I do not use. I, however, doubt that the database design in MC has changed between the Win and Mac versions.
