Media Tree not updating

[Lowlander]

It will create a new one in the default locations. So if you want a custom location you need to set it up again: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... e-location

Terrific! I've moved the DB before but needed a refresher! The same goes for the new INI file: how and at what point should I move it, as I have both on my NAS?

Also, if I can open MM twice to view two DB then how is this done? Surely opening the second installation would open the same DB as the first or create a new one, thus denying the opportunity to select a second DB to open?

1) No need to move ini to start with a new DB.

2) Install as Portable and it will use its own DB.

Add to above:

Each portable installation uses own DB so basically if you enable Multiple Instances of MMW (Tools -> General) you can have multiple MMW started with Different DB

I realise that. I was trying to recall at what point to move and edit it in order to have it on my NAS with the DB, though I think I've found the wiki link I was originally given. Of course there's also the editing of the Target field in the shortcut:
"<Program path>" /INIFILE="<New INI file path>"

Good to know! I don't think the portable info was in the above link when I set up databases on my NAS for different user accounts so they could access from different PCs. Does that mean the following:
1) If I select Portable next time there's an upgrade will the existing installation on Windows remain the same whilst installing Portable where I choose?
2) Are there any restrictions or limitations with Portable?
3) Is there any need (or even possible) to edit INI file with Portable?
4) Is it only possible to have multiple instances of Portable by installing second copy to different location? Tools>Options>General feature mentioned seems futile in regular MM as just opens same DB.

1) As long as you install in separate locations you can have a regular and several portable installs on the same machine. For simultaneous running you'll need to allow multiple instances in each install (Tools > Options > General).

2) A Portable Install won't integrate with Windows, which is the main limitation. I actually only run as Portable.

3) No need, but you can, just like with the regular version. (it might be wise to install as Portable on a local drive and if needed use a DB on the NAS)

4) Yes, as long as they're installed in different folders.

Can you elaborate on that?

(it might be wise to install as Portable on a local drive and if needed use a DB on the NAS)

If I do that, would I follow the same procedure of moving the DB and INI file (including editing path) as with regular version in order that I can access on NAS from multiple PCs?

Instead of using the registry it writes settings to file, you're also missing the taskbar player option.
