Hello MC13 lovers! I'm a happy (new) user of MC13 running it as a lib server on a Windows Home Server.
However I'm having difficulties in creating a usable view for the MC13 family members that want to
browse our family music/pictures and movies.
In time I created an extensive directory tree based on dates for pictures and movies and
on Artists/Group names for music. When I import the lot into MC13 and present it the views
are not usable. Photo's and Movies are categorised in a way we can't find back the correct
movies. Photo's can be sorted in many ways but none of them seem to be usable.
With music there are definitely great views, but none of them is complete. Due to the way
the music is categorised based on tag info the views are not correct/complete.
I know that most views are based on tag info and many files require the correct field info,
but with many hundreds of thousands of files that is an almost lifetime job. (Even with the
best taggers in town...)
To put it all in short: Isn't there a working way to present the music files, photo's and movies
based on the disk location tree? (which is also in the file/tag info in the library...)
I know you can use drives & devices but this is outside of the library server/database.
I do have looked into the "disk location.jvi" view supplied in another post on this forum, but
this doesn't work via the library server... The "root" does not open. It remains empty for some
reason... (or does it hang forever due to the large amount of files??)
Does anybody has the same problems
and found a good solution???
Thanks for any response!
Guido
