Copy option strongly desired
« on: June 28, 2002, 09:36:34 pm »

The CD burning dialog allows to choose a folder option, including the possibility to "mirror" the folder structure present in the harddisk, which is very useful if you want to create a CD backup of your track files.
The move/copy dialog, instead, copies everything you have selected into a single folder (at least I've not been able to do anything else).
It would be very useful to allow, in the move/copy dialog, the same folder options allowed in the Burn dialog.
Consider, just for example, the case you wish to add later on, in the CD backup, additional files which are not in the MJ data base, or the case of an incremental backup into a DirectCD support.

An alternative way to achieve the same result would be having the option, in the Burn dialog, to create a sort of image of the CD on the hard disk, instead of an immediate burn.

Anyone else would like this feature?
Thanks
Luigi

Hey Luig
Have a look under Files>Properties Dialogue, under Tools, "Rename files from properties".
This will move files according to any template that you provide, creating directories as necessary to fulfil your wishes.
It's actually considerably more flexible than the quite meagre options afforded under the CD Burner.
In fact, my request would be that when burning, could I please have the power that "Rename files from properties" gives?

I'd like to add my vote to that as I'd love to be able to have my mp3's burnt with file names created from the id3 tags rather than the original file name as this is often VERY long (artist - album - track # - title) and so will not burn (over 256 chars). I would instead like to be able to choose to burn them all with - artist - track # - title
