Title: Missing import function!
Post by: This2ShallPass on September 21, 2021, 08:10:25 am: While I have auto-import settings saved, I occasionally manually force importation (using the same settings), because I want to have access to new music now.

I went to invoke this from MC client (Win10 desktop): Tools>Import>Run Auto Import, but the "Import" option is disabled (grayed out). Well, I run my client connected to an Id Classic, so I ran my remote desktop to access the server, and the whole "Tools" menu is missing! Did a quick Option 12 ("Check for Updates") on the server, and got the new 28.0.66 update for the client, but no fix for this odd state.

Anyone know what's up? :-\

You can trigger a Server auto import from ANY (windows) machine on the network, using a simple desktop shortcut:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:52199/MCWS/v1/Control/MCC?Command=23020

(the xxx is the IP address of the Server)

Double click the shortcut, a browser window opens, credentials pop up, click Ok... Server auto import initiated.

Is it possible it just got removed from the toolbar somehow? Just right-click somewhere in the toolbar and select customize. Make sure &Tools is included. I just checked my Id remotely and for some reason it was showing up as T&ools in the customize menu.
