Title: New Otto -- Auto Import of Folders
Post by: JimH on October 10, 2006, 05:43:22 pm: Build 89, just out, modifies the way we expose auto import. Check under Tools for 3 new options.

Also, we've changed "Watch Folders" to "Folders" and brought back your friend, Otto. It's Auto-import again.

We hope it's more intuitive and gives you what you need.

If you don't like Otto, turn him off. Tools/Auto-import Options. But you can still run an import manually by choosing "Run Auto-import Now" or import a single folder by choosing "Import Folder".

A new toolbar button was added for running Otto.

Auto-import takes almost no CPU and should automatically find new files or changes within one minute.

It's way cool to suggest a change one day and see it implemented the next.

I think you'll find that most feature requests are implemented the next day, second day at the latest.

As is, its not a dealbreaker for me migrating to MC 12, it just means:

a) We need a better/easier way to manually initate Otto.

4. To clunky to get into Tools-Options-Library to run manual imports now (since I have "Otto's Auto" disabled).

Still.... I'm very happy. And as I posted earlier... Otto is working quite well for my HTPC.

Thanks!
