Title: Media centre blocked while performing file copy/move operations
Post by: J-a-k-e on May 03, 2011, 04:05:12 am

I don't know if this is something to do with Media centre possibly it's more of an issue with the design of the windows file operations dialogue itself when performing a "rename, move, & copy files..." operation under the library tools menu. When it comes to the stage of physically moving or copying files, I am in effect locked out of media centre until the operation has completed.
This doesn't bother me most of the time but if it happens to be quite a large local file operation or if I'm copying media over a network connection It leaves me unable to access media centre 16 for quite a lengthy period.
I know a way around the problem would be to to manually cut/copy & paste from folder to folder, but this is just time consuming when media centre has the ability to automatically create the folder and file-name structure from already existent media tags.

It seem more like an Apple ITunes- IPod purchasing issue, how Apples stops you from moving music from one machine to another.  But in this case I have purchase a license  from MC to use  the product on two machines.
No copyright issues?



  It should be easy to setup

This has nothing to do with itunes apple or any licensing issues. What I'm referring to is how the windows file copy dialogue box likes to become the only click-able item by denying focus to media centre when I initiate a copy operation from within media centre. The same thing goes for when media centre is  analysing media that I drag+drop into the library. It's maybe not so much a bug but rather more of an 'inconvenience'

I've also seen this behavior.  It is an annoyance, but I've "just lived with it" since it's fairly subtle.
