Title: Library Manager
Post by: rossp on April 04, 2011, 03:46:52 am: Hi All, I seem to remember a library manager in earlier versions where you could manager the libraries that you connected to. I.e change name / ip info etc.

I have some libraries that I have got the connect info wrong and I can't seem to change / delete them without using regedit.

Have we lost some functionality?

Look under the Playing Now tree item in the left hand column. Expand the "Playing From..." item to expose your libraries and then simply highlight one - you then have lots of options available to manage that library.

Yes...all kinds of options....except one to edit the path ::)

Man...what happened to this thing? The lib manager in 15 was perfect....was this really necessary?

That's been brought up a couple times and no real decision yet if we're ever going to be able to edit again.

Post by: jack wallstreet on April 05, 2011, 07:17:06 am: I think the recent improvements in the library manager are pretty good.

1. Having it available from the main menu would be logical, but not necessary. (I know the individual controls are available from the main menu).

2. One feature I would like to see return is the ability to kill the default library because the path can't be changed (or to edit it to a different location). Right now, I keep it empty and have renamed it "empty" It would be cleaner to be able to delete it or move it.

As usual - you guys rock!
