 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?

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:

title_artist_code 0^code 1^[...]code n_album_label.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!

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
the request.

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..

 It would be a good option. And maybe a default scheduler code, configurable
 in RdAdmin/Groups.

 Thanks!

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.

2012/1/16 sf...@xs4all.nl

 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 Lorne Tyndale
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
 in RDLogedit (as a filter).
