Y at - it a bug with the checkbox 'Keep iTunes media folder organized' preference?

My iTunes for Windows version 12.3.3.17 music library has always organized automatically by itunes with all the files placed in the album and records of the artist, with the song title names preceded the disc number, track number, etc..

I don't like it. This creates a maze of unwanted, unnecessary nested folders such as [name of artist]------\(tune list) [Album 1 name], [artist name]------[Album 2 name] \(tune list), etc.  or, in many cases, [artist name] \Unknown Album\(tune list).

I have cloned my Itunes Media\Music file and traversed the clone, all music files manually non-breeders (all I want is artist Name\ [tune list]...) I don't want to see songs of the artist sorted into subfolders based on the album of the artist names, and I am certainly not zillions of subfolders "Unknown Album" being intended to receive the different air in cases where iTunes is unable to identify the name of the album because at some point in the past, I've copied CD tracks on my PC as .aiffs and then imported into iTunes to mp3 stripping inadvertently names album from metadata of files.)

Once the clone folder was all cleaned up, I opened iTunes and it deleted my entire library of music.

I closed iTunes, DISCONNECTED MY COMPUTER FROM the INTERNET and then restarted iTunes. In PREFERENCES, I made sure the checkbox 'Keep iTunes media folder organized' has been DISABLED so that iTunes can no longer "place files in folders of album and artist and name the files based on the number of the disc, track number and the title of the song.

Finally, I imported my cleaned files of music together collection, in the clone folder in iTunes.

Once this is done, I closed iTunes and then manually open my folder of C:\Users\[me]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music to observe and enjoy the fact that he was, hopefully finally organized my way.

To my surprise, when any iTunes my library cleaned, he completely ignored my preference setting to NOT "maintain organized the iTunes Media folder. He was once more reorganised in the same maze of unwanted files/subfolders!

It seems that this particular box really doesn't do anything.  iTunes still examines the metadata of files available (since there is no way, it can access the Internet with disabled connections) and continues to insist on all reorganize in subfolders based on file metadata, EVEN IF you set preferences to prevent it explicitly to do this.

What Miss me?

You would need to get the result you wanted to copy the folder "stored until" in the iTunes Media folder and added that copy in the library, or have disabled alternately to copy files to the iTunes folder when adding to Library Media then added support to its original path. When iTunes makes the imported copy, CD rips, format convert, downloads from the iTunes Store, etc. or you add using automatically add to iTunes folder it will always use its nesting default < artist > \Music\ < Media folder > \ < Album > for music. Personally, I think that you are taking the wrong approach. I always fill all the missing details and have my library organized in this sense much like iTunes does, although I don't like the way it truncates names to 40 characters and I keep certain genres like classical music, humor and music stored in their own subfolders. If you really want to impose your own structure take a look at my CustomRenamerscript.

  • Keep my organized the iTunes media folder

    I was running iTunes on my iMac with the music library on a NAS.  I have a MacBook Pro which also access the library. No problem.  Then my iMac died and I made the mistake of checking "keep my iTunes media folder organized on the MacBook.  Big mistake.  iTunes proceeded to totally presented the folder.  Now, the music play iTunes (file not found).  Albums are incomplete.  When I look at the files and folders on NAS, it is total disarray, with files and folders in all directions.  An album file which had 11 titles in her previouldy now has only 2 and I have no idea where are the other 9.  Another album has a folder that it contains that bears the name of a different album with all the tracks for this album in it.  Can someone help me to solve this mess?  Most of my music is ripped from CDs I own and some is on the cloud (I bought the Apple music).  Thank you in advance.

    iTune 12.4.3.1, OS X 10.11.3.

    Best regards

    It seems to be a classic case of iTunes for some reason, do not like to work with NAS. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes locations of files and/or names may be wasted.  We don't know why, but it is likely how the NAS interface software works and editing a Unix Mac address format used for anything that uses the SIN.  The long-term solution is to use the NAS for backup and use a standard hard drive to the library (Yes, I know, you don't want to hear it).  The short term solution is to restore your library from your backup.

  • Bug with the embedded font.

    Hello


    I have a strange bug with the font Cooper (Std Black Italic)...

    Here's what looks like a multiline text in the Flash Editor:

    Now, here's how it looks when I embed the fonts in a SWF file, and then load and use from the AS3 code:

    I tried to reexporting the police, the same problem. I also have the same problem when I export the scene editor and read it with Ctrl + Enter.

    It seems THAT the good in the editor... I don't know what to do. I reinstalled even the police. :/

    Also, I have this problem with all fonts... or at least every 5 different fonts, I tried.

    I finally fixed it by recreating the Mac fla file.

    Looks like it is a problem with Windows.

  • Is there a bug with the maintenance of interaction of the Glossary for the entire project?

    Greetings,

    I've seen in other posts (Cp6) that there is a known bug with the maintenance of interaction available in a project glossary.

    Maybe my problem can help further this question - or maybe someone can post tips on how to solve this problem.

    I use a trial version of the Cp7 and followed the advice in this tutorial: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=wTEF-56V1Z4

    I found that if I left 'Visible output' box unchecked for the button closure (as in the tutorial), I don't see the glossary at all.

    Similarly for the button I created for the glossary - I couldn't have hidden or I don't see it.

    Another problem: the close button in the glossary (which is grouped in the interaction) in a first time appeared with the glossary, but then decided to appear on following slides without it (but in the same location).

    Everyone has been able to follow the advice on the above tutorial link successfully and is there another tutorial I can watch or read about it? I really want to provide access to the glossary on multiple slides and during quizzes. (And Yes, I'll buy a license - although the number of bugs I encounter creeps upward!)

    Thank you

    Jacqui.

    Hello

    Unchecking 'visible output' means the Group glossary will be invisible in the output until it is made visible by an action. In this case, the action that make visible is assigned to the Glossary button.

    Make sure that:

    • Glossary button, button Exit and the Widget are defined "Rest of project" accordion Timing.
    • EXIT button is set to Place object on top in the accordion of Timing.

  • ITunes media folder location has changed, but it keeps resetting to the default location

    Hello

    I changed my iTunes media folder location. My internal drive has two drives (was originally a Fusion player, after a system crash, I had to clean it and install Mac OS from scratch and is no longer read as a reader of fusion, but I agree with it), so one of the discs that I use for the OS itself and the other to store the data. I've changed most of my files application for the storage disk storage. When I change the location of folder of media to iTunes, after reboot, it restores the original file to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media.

    Why does that happen?

    If this info can help, I do not have the bluetooth icon in the menu bar, so I removed it by opening bluetooth preferences and unchecked 'see the bluetooth in the menu bar. He disappears. When I restart, it seems once again, it is not happened to Yosemite.

    Thanks in advance.

    iTunes will revert to the default locations, if the configured drive is not present when iTunes opens. This happens if the drive is not mounted or asleep...

  • bug with the news of the spectrum

    Hello

    I have a problem with the FRF vi, which calculates the frequency response. The cluster 'info of the spectrum', the channel name is not changed when the FRF vi is looped. It seems that this problem is when the vi Polymorph selection is set to "1 stimulus, 1 reply.

    The attached vi shows my problem for a better understanding of the "bug".

    The channelname (and perhaps other properties of the spectrum) are not changed. I want to store the result of the FRF vi to a TDMS with polymorphic VI 'Write in TDMS' file available in the Toolbox for sound & Vibration. The Spectra must be registered with all of the properties and the channelname should change...

    Someone has an idea to fix this? Maybe I do not use the bandwidth as it should be, but it seems that there is a bug in the vi.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    I found what was wrong in my code.

    In order to have the good 'spectrum info', I put the entry "reboot on average" to true on the frequency response of vi.

  • a bug with the structure that contains bit fields?

    using CVI 8.5. I tried to set up a structure that contains bit fields. Although the structure compiles, I encounter strange behavior when you access individual fields, while the value of the overall structure seems ok. Here is the structure:

    typedef struct
    {
    Union
    {
    struct
    {
    unsigned int Flag1: 1;
    unsigned int dummy: 3;
    unsigned int Flag2: 4;
    unsigned int Indicateur3: 4;
    unsigned int dummy2: 4;
    };
    unsigned short;
    } flags;
    } flagset;

    When you set the Member 'all' to a value so that one or more indicators, but not all, are false, I still read the individual like real flags, until all flags are set to false.

    I missed something? This definition is really legal?

    Please find attached a file showing the problem.

    The same issue is at stake with or without the ternary operator. It turns out the problem was not specifically with printf, but rather a bug in the compiler that is related to the evaluation of the members of anonymous internal structures. If several internal anonymous struct members are evaluated before the compiler actually do anything with the result - which is the case when passing arguments to a function-, so they will all be evaluates the value that was evaluated last.
