Title: MC Core command pop ups - need a way to supress 'em
Post by: raym on July 26, 2007, 07:37:29 pm

I'd like to use a few MCC commands within vb scripts for automation purposes. Specifically, I'm trying to script the Auto Import (23020) and Export All Playlists (20004) functions to run at specific times only. The problem is that both these calls result in a popup box requiring user interaction (hitting ok etc). This kinda defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to achieve.

Could we please have a way of calling these (and other such) functions "silently"? Maybe something like an optional boolean parameter to supress the popups. Example: MC12.exe /MCC 20004,1

Thanks in advance.

YES, that would be great. I am using keyboard emulation to do this, but having a "silent" trigger would be nicer!!

Good to see I'm not alone on this one  :). Hopefully this is not such a big deal to implement and that we may see something on this in the near future.

Thanks.
