I had a add-on for winamp that put two buttons in my 'notification bar' one a red X that would fully delete the underlying file of the song playing. The other a blue arrow that would move the underlying file to a different folder (configurable) I would use this to sift thru folders and choose to either delete a song or move it to a new 'yes i want to keep these files' folder.
so i could quickly roll thru hundreds of files with minimal clicks to purge or keep music.
Is there anyway to do something similar in MM?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious! Any help appreciated!
[REQ] quick way to delete file OR move file

Re: quick way to delete file OR move file
This is easily done with scripts.
I believe there was few scripts that could do that.

Re: [REQ] quick way to delete file OR move file
In thinking about the scripts that already exist, that doesn't ring a bell. You deleted songs during playback?Greenbug wrote:I had a add-on for winamp that put two buttons in my 'notification bar' one a red X that would fully delete the underlying file of the song playing.

Re: [REQ] quick way to delete file OR move file
Yes, during playback. I could hit button for either delete or move-file. Either button would result in the action occurring and the next song in line immediately starting up. It made it very quick and convenient to sort thru lots of songs to see which i would keep and which I would delete. Right now, I go back to winamp to do all my sorting, and MM for everything else. But I would love to just get this functionality in MM. I'm a bit of a noob, but I'll dig into scripting. If you think of anything that already exists that might help, I would love to hear about it.
Much Thanks!
Much Thanks!
Re: [REQ] quick way to delete file OR move file
How does the "move" work? Do you set/config a destination or does it have extended menus (click the button, menu appears, hover over parents and sub-folder menu appears
and so on...; MM is natively capable of that, no configuring).

Re: [REQ] quick way to delete file OR move file
you preconfigure a destination folder for the 'move' function. once that's done; any time you click the arrow button; the file stops playing and moves to that folder, and the next song starts.
or you click the x button and the song gets deleted entirely and the next song starts.
I'm not sure If I can post url's here, but you can search for winamp file deleter v2.5 and still see the notes on it in the winampheritage site including very self-explanatory screen shots.
The utility also has the option of adding a rename button..but i never use that.
I know I can use MM to move or delete the file, but it's several clicks per songs to pick the song, choose move, choose destination.
I need to sort through a LOT of songs. (thousands) So I find myself returning to old defunct winamp to get this functionality.
I suppose the other nice thing about this old utility is that it works perfectly even if I have other programs in the foreground. (nice, but I could live without it if it meant not being locked to old winamp)
I was hoping perhaps a MM addon already existed or that I could somehow define a easy macro\hotkey.
Thanks!

Re: [REQ] quick way to delete file OR move file
..Just wanted to post a followup. Never really got a fix for this, and winamp started bombing on lots of files.
so these days:
I assigned a F12 hotkey(tools\options\hotkey) for 'General: Focus tracklist on current...'
I throw a hundred files in a folder, and open it in MM and play
I then hit F12,Del,Y,Y to kill files (have it set to remove underlying file)
it auto plays the next one
then I just take what's left and move them to my save folder.
it's not one click of a mouse, but It's working for me.
I bet I could figure out how to make a macro that does all that with one key. I will look into that.
Thx.
