It all sounds fine to me. I don't have this need myself at this time.
I was just trying to offer a possible approach to the person who made

Why not both?  The group setting is the initial default, which can be 
overridden by the dropbox setting.  The dropbox setting is the default for for 
its context, which can be overridden by individual imports.

Why not make it part of the metadata pattern, so codes could be specified as 
part of the filename, just like any other metadata?  The only place this might 
get slightly tricky is when multiple codes are desired.  In that case a special 
'inter-code' separator could be specified, resulting in something like:

__^^[...]__.wav

in this case, '_' would be the usual field separator, and '^' would be the code 
separator.

This also avoids some potential race conditions that could bite with scenarios 
involving multiple files.

Cheers!

Hi,

Using the scheduler codes as a filter is now possible in RDLogEdit (and 
RDAirplay) as of Version 2.1.1.

When you select to add a new cart within RDLogEdit, you now have a 
pull-down filter you can use to select a scheduler code.  It works quite 
well and is a very welcomed feature (Thanks Fred!)



On a side note: I would really like to be able to use the schedule-codes

iirc, the suggestion was to make this an option on setting up a drop
box or on setting up a group. Probably the group. So if a group was to
be forced to have a code, (or the droppbox) then you would need such a
file, if not, you would not. Does that work?

Re: [RDD] Feature Request: make the Scheduler codes mandatory in some groups

2012-01-16 Thread Luigino Bracci
You can create a scheduler code called "Unclassified" and make it the
default scheduler code for the new imported carts then you can use
Rdlibrary to select all the carts with the  "Unclassified" scheduler code
and classify them.

I do not want to create a filename.sc when I do a mass-import of songs. I
rather use RDLibrary to listen to the songs and classify it. So make it
optional, not mandatory.
A visual indication (color/marker) that a song does not have a schedule
code would make this easier.
On a side note: I would really like to be able to use the schedule-codes
in RDLogedit (as a filter).

Re: [RDD] Feature Request: make the Scheduler codes mandatory in some groups

2012-01-16 Thread Samuel Cifuentes-Favini
Hi
A cool feature is the ability to associate a value with a scheduler code
For example the code "energy" could have the values ​​1,2, or 3 (as in
Powergold)
or maybe an alphanumerical value like high, medium, low
etc..

Sam

It would be a good option. And maybe a default scheduler code, configurable

1. have the code configurable per dropbox?
2. require the creation of a filename.sc to go in alongside of
filename.wav/mp3 in and dropbox set to import to groups with forced
scheduler codes. pullt the code from the matching filename.sc file?
3. ???

Hi,

The scheduler codes are a great feature; in our case, we want to use it in
the music groups for identify the genre of each song. But the operator can
forget to specify the scheduler codes in the music groups, because they
aren't required. So, it would be nice if the administrator can specify in
RDAdmin, that the carts on a group must require (or not) at least one
scheduler code.

What do you think?
