2111: Organising files from OneDrive
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2018 9:02 am
Hi! Recently installed the latest build of MM5 to test. I am particularly interested in the new Cloud features, as I already managed to get a 'OneDrive server' working in MM4, though it's a little buggy with multiple users. So, I'll be sure to test out the new MM5 Cloud features in the coming time (on Windows 10).
As I am already using OneDrive to manage my MM4 library, I installed the portable MM5 without copying information from MM4, and subsequently added my OneDrive through the 'Add/Rescan Files to the Library' function. After a short wait, it seems that most of my music was added, but I noticed two things:
— I am unable to select a specific subfolder on my OneDrive. It scans simply everything, while my music is specifically organised in OneDrive\MediaMonkey. In other folders are other types of sound files.
— It seems that all the songs are synced in bulk without any tags, just the filenames. I understand that it is an alpha build, but I was wondering if this is correct. It certainly makes it harder to test, and I probably better try to test MM5 on a specific subset of files (but I cannot, as I cannot select a specific subfolder on OneDrive). Also, my whole MediaMonkey folder on OneDrive is auto-organised by MM4, so all files and folders are organised and tagged, and in MM5 I de-selected the option to download the files to my harddrive.
I'm not sure how much this helps you, but I'll make sure to keep testing the feature.
