Does it batch-relocate my files if I rename them ?

Open capellavacancies opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hello, what I'd like to do it's to rename my .mp3 files and I was wondering if this software will "inform" rekordbox about their name. I ran it with one file, but there was no modified path in the generated xml.

`Total tracks in collection: 1452 Tracks OK: 1451 Tracks repaired: 0 Tracks with multiple matches: 0 Tracks with missing files: 1 Tracks with path too long: 0 Tracks on disk but not in rekordbox: 1

Repaired tracks

The original files for the following tracks were not found in their expected locations, but were found elsewhere and repaired versions have been written to the output XML file:

Tracks with missing files

The files for the following tracks couldn't be found anywhere in the specified search directory:

'mrshl' - 'You Know' - 'In The Rain' Missing: C:\Users\user\Documents\test\mrshl - In The Rain.mp3

Tracks on disk but not in rekordbox

The following files exist in the specified search directory but haven't yet been imported into rekordbox:

C:\Users\user\Documents\test\mrshl - In The Raino.mp3`

Thanks

Hi,

At the bottom of this project's homepage there's a "Future Plans" section, which includes this:

  • Implement a more intelligent search for missing files where the file may have changed name but it can still be matched based on other criteria, e.g. file size, metadata, the names of its parent folders, the Levenshtein distance between the original filename and the new filename, etc.

So I'm afraid at the moment the filename itself needs to be the same in order for its location to be repaired.
