Hi,
I think these two bugs should be implemented with a workflow like this:
- select a folder to export files to (‘create external mixxx library’ for
example), let’s say
/media/external/exported
- mixxx creates empty database to the location, for example
/media/external/exported/.mixxx/mixxx.sqlite
- if successful, the exported library is shown in the mixxx sidebar with
‘unmount' icon
- user drags tracks from the library to the folder in sidebar, just like to a
playlist
-> mixxx copies the tracks to the folder and updates database in external
directory
-> the external DB must contain path in internal DB to match the tracks
later
-> tag changes must be timestamped to allow merging of changes back
-> user can create folders, which are folders in the export directory, and
mixxx has
relative paths to the tracks in the exported directory
- user unmount the external library from sidebar
-> exported database is closed and the entry disappears from mixxx sidebar
- on another (or same) mixxx machine, user chooses ‘import external library’
-> the library is shown in mixxx sidebar, and changes can be imported (but
maybe not
automatically? Maybe option in sidebar context menu or in import dialog?)
-> tracks can be played normally from the sidebar external library folder
I see no point exporting cue info or waveforms in json or xml formats, because
the data is internal to mixxx.
