Add directory/change name

Post by mark12356 »

Hi, I've changed the name of one of the directories holding music files. Is it possible to tell MM to scan and include just this directory? It used to be, but I can't see how to do it with the latest version. (Great update btw)

Hi,
Have you done that outside MM or with MM?
a) if outside MM then you need to select all tracks that fail to play and then use file -> Locate moved/missing tracks to point to newly renamed folder.
b) if you have done that in MM then paths in library should be updated immediately.

Scanning renamed folder instead of location tracks in new folder will result in double track entries in library.

In Add/Rescan Files you set what should be scanned. However this doesn't remove files in folders not selected from the Library.

You should be able to fix the moved files as mentioned above with Located Moved/Missing Files.

Any locations you no longer want in the Library can be removed from the Music > Location node in the Media Tree.
