Scripting Functionality Thread (NO Script Requests Here!)

[Steegy]

Fellow scripters/coders/...:

The "Scripting Functionality Wishlist" has been added to the Scripts and Components forum: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7978


You can post your scripting functionality wishes here (in the current topic), as also your comments about the wishlist itself.

Please, before posting scripting ideas, wishes, ..., check that they're not already on the wishlist and that they're not posted here.
Of course, improvements to current proposals are also very welcome.


This topic is meant for "scripting functionality" only, so please don't ask for scripts or other general wishes that you might have with the program. This will help to keep it clean.

Cheers
Steegy

I'd love to be able to access the tree menus better. For example, add a menu item to the popup menu for each album in the albums node.

Great idea Steegy!

I also want 2 features....
I want to be able to Turn On/Off the AutoDJ and Shufle from scripts.
Also, regarding the tree, a GetParentNode method will be very usefful.
That is for now, but i am sure that i will come up with other ideas

And another wish, accessing the webnode: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7966

I added the "Scripting Functionality Wishlist" to the Scripts And Components forum.
Thanks to psyxonova for waiting for me and locking/stickying it so kindly!

If you have comments on the way the wishes are presented, please let us know.

Cheers

I added comments to the wishlist, most features will appear in MM 2.5.2.

Jiri,

Thank you *very* much for commenting on these wishes so fast!

And thank you for the corrections you made. I'm sure this will be less necessary in the future because wishes will be posted here on this topic first (and receive comments if necessary) before they will be added to the wishlist topic.
Psyxonova told me I could send him the things that should be added to the wishlist, but of course you, Rusty, Psyxonova or Onkel_enno can do it directly (and you guys certainly have better experience in scripting).

About some comments you made:

::SDBUIDropDown: property Editable That's right; it works the same way as c# does.

::ISDBApplication: New event: OnTrackRipped(filepath to last ripped track, and it's SongData object)
The intention of this event was that when a track has been ripped from a cd, the created wav file (if set in the options, or if SaveLastRippedTrack is set to True) could be copied through a script to another location (while MM is using it to convert the format) if people want to keep some of their ripped tracks as backup in wav format. The idea came from http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7221
Will the new event support this? Anyway, it's just a wish. If it's not interesting enough well... then it isn't.
New event: OnTrackChange(PreviousTrack (SongData), NewTrack (SongData)) Sorry for the confusion. I was thinking of an event that fires when the player changes from one song to another. (it doesn't fire if the same song starts over again). Maybe this behaviour can be simulated by the onPlay event (remember what the previous track was and compare it with the new one)

::ISDBSongData: UpdateDB should also update the file path in the library You are so right

::ISDBTree: PreviousNode & PreviousSiblingNode These already work great in MM. I mistakenly added them because I made a error-catching interface for them and forgot that the methods themself already existed. The ParentNode property will make the error-catching workaround unneccesary .

Maybe the wishes that are useless should be deleted from the wishlist for clarity.

Cheers

Ok, the only thing that needs to be commented:

Yes, OnTrackConverted is called also for ripping (as a special case of conversion).

Maybe it's possible already and I don't know it but TracksWindows.Clear would be helpful.

Is there already a script for hiding nodes? I don't use most of the nodes and so don't want to see them.

[Steegy]

@abrazor

Please don't post any script requests or other things here. This post is meant for wishes and comments on MediaMonkey scripting functionality and it's wishlist. In that way, we can keep it a little bit clean here.

Regarding your question:

You can use an autostart script like:

Code: Select all

Sub OnStartup

  SDB.MainTree.Node_Library.Visible = False
  SDB.MainTree.Node_MyComputer.Visible = False

End Sub

This code hides the Library and My Computer nodes when MediaMonkey starts. You can easily change/add nodes to hide.

Cheers

Sorry Steegy, and thanks for the help.

[trixmoto]

Sorry, I've not double checked the wishlist, but this wasn't on here before.

Adding images to the library! That would be very useful!

[psyXonova]

I second Trix's wish!!

[trixmoto]

That would of course include the ability to create new SDBImage types so we can convert and resize images!

Cheers!
