ExternalTools v1.4 [MM2+3+4]

[Steegy]

Oops, you're right, I didn't read the German text

This should work (I think, I didn't test and I haven't seen the script in a loooong time):

Code: Select all

Program Path:
C:\Path\To\Mp3DirSorter.exe

Parameters:
%P /SortFolders

Execute Tool:
[X] Run it once

Cheers,

Hi,

Unfortunately it does not work. Do you have another idea?

Thanks

Hello, I just tested this.

For the script to work there should be at least 1 item in the main tracks list.
E.g. when you select the Music, Location, ... node, all tracks underneath it are shown in the tracks list.

However, this does not happen for nodes My Computer, C:\, ... This is the reason that the script doesn't do anything in those cases; there's simply no track to get its information from.
Why MediaMonkey doesn't show all tracks underneath in those cases, I don't know...

But even then the script runs on the path of the first track in the list, depending on what track that is it could be the usb drive itself or any subfolder.

So, I think the easiest way to do what you want is... simply running the application manually. A Windows shortcut can easily be made e.g. "C:\Path\To\Mp3DirSorter.exe" "H:\" /SortFolders (assuming H is your USB drive).

Cheers,
Steegy

Hi,

in case anyone is having any issues, here's how I got ExternalTools installed:

download the .mmip (it's a zip archive)
rename the .mmip to .zip (either tell windows to show extensions of known file types, via Folder Options > View, or navigate to the folder in a command prompt and
ren *.mmip *.zip)

Extract the files (a .vbs and install/uninstall.inis) then edit the .vbs script

Comment the line out (Notepad++ has line numbers) with a ', ie
'Dim SDB : Set SDB = CreateObject("SongsDB.SDBApplication")

Save the change to .vbs, then add files into a new zip (with 7zip I can tell it to make a zip file, then change the extension that the archive will be saved to, ie extTool14,MMIP)

Run the new mmip.

First time I tried this it didn't work. Make sure you remember to save the changes to the vbb, then create the new mmip package.

good luck!

Hi,

do you know what parameter I need to use to pass selected files as parameter to BPM Analyzer?

the app opens, but I need to drag the files in. I've tried several parameters, but nothing seems to do it...

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

Installation Package: ExternalTools14.mmip

On MM 1708 unskinned portable on Win7 64-bit this fails with:



Ideas?

People sometimes report my MonkeyRok script does this. It means that the script couldn't connect to MM, which could be because it's not registered (unlikely) or because some anti-virus or similar security software to blocking access (more likely).

It is registered.

or because some anti-virus or similar security software to blocking access (more likely).

I take that to mean: blocking access from your script to the database. Thanks.

Not: this is a portable install. May I ask: have you verified your script works on a portable install?

It doesnt work on Portable unless manually MMW is registered. Try to add " ' " in front of "Dim SDB"?

Thanks. That fixes it.

Is the inclusion of that line a bug? http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... uto-script is clear that SDB is already provided.

Sending 28 files to a single Mp3tag window causes:



Any way to disable this?

Register to MM's Mediamonkey.registry (a file in MM portable folder), read about it here under description.
According to the status in the Mantis report (link), that manual reg. issue Peke was referring to should be fixed now, as I didn't have to deal with
it when installing.

However, there is another issue involving "Line 20" that can pop up when you try to install. Look for the words "Line 20"
somewhere on the error message. If that happens, follow Zephyr's instructions
above and it should work. Notes after reading through Zephyr's post, you only need notepad (Win Accessories)
or notepad++ to read a .vbs file (just click on it). Depending on the Archiver you use, it may not rename the .zip back to .mmip directly
from the interface of the Archiver. Just try to rename it and if it creates the file into the destination folder with .zip still on the end of it,
just manually change it back to .mmip from explorer.
