I create playlists with an excel programm and save it to a special folder on my laptop.
Playlist import works fine.

But at the next time mixxx has forgotten my path.

I use Version 2.3.2. on Windows
I discussed it already in MIXXX-Forum
https://mixxx.discourse.group/t/path-to-my-playlists/24427/9

Playlist path is empty everytime.

maybe a regression of #4531 which wasn't tested on Windows IIRC?

I'll prepare a debug build to investigate the issue.

In the meantime, we can try to figure out where the code fails to write the path.
What happens if you set a path manually in the config?
Close Mixxx, open mixxx.cfg, replace

LastImportExportPlaylistDirectory

with

LastImportExportPlaylistDirectory C:\valid\path\to\your\playlists

Is that folder opened when you try to import or export a playlist?
Is the config cleared?

Btw when importing/exporting sampler banks saving the directory works the same way.
Could you please test if that path is stored?

In mixxx.cfg it's
[Samplers]
last_import_export_directory ...

I opened #4699 to debug this.

Good Morning !

Sorry guys, but there is a big disaster with your new version
mixxx-2.4-alpha-1130-gc8107cb795-win64.

First of all, the path will still not remenbered
Secondly, no files are importet. Thats new.

I give you my import list as attachment to this eMail.
The export function works fine with your last version.

If you like, you can join me with Teamviewer.
So you can see what happens on my computer.

Thanks for helping.

@Bernhard Dähnrich
Could you please answer my question from comment #⁠3?
Did you already have a chance to test the debug build I posted in #⁠4?

Hallo ronso,

I don't know what I shall do more ?

I tested your Version immediatly and wrote my comment in #⁠5 and #⁠6.

Nothing works.
You got my cfg file from your test-Version.
There you can see that the path will not remembered.

Now I went back to your last stable version 2.3.2. because I need to import a playlist every week.

Well, you could actually test the PR build I linked :)

You wrote you were using
mixxx-2.4-alpha-1130-gc8107cb795-win64
which corresponds to the current 'main' branch (nighty build), so i didn't bother looking at the logs, whereas my PR is based on 2.3 and the exact version is
2.3.2-10-g9fc5bbbc54 (playlist-path-debug)

I posted all infos in comment #⁠4: read the wiki page (backup & download instructions), create an github account, click the download link, download the binary.

Testing:

import to playlists:
unchanged but produces debug output.
importing to crates:
uses another directory separator, saving the path should work

Please test importing to Crate first. The path is saved to the config as [Library] LastImportExportCrateDirectory
If that works, I'll update playlists, as well.
If it doesn't work, please start a new session and try importing to Playlist. It still won't save the path but it will print debug output, so please upload that session's log.
Thanks!

Good Morning,

sorry, but I was not able to do anything in the last time.

You asked about entrys in mixxx.cfg file.
I cannot find the entry "last_import_export_directory"

[Sampler9]
keylock 0
quantize 0

[Sampler]
LoadSamplerBank 0
SaveSamplerBank 0

[Samplers]
show_expanded 0
show_samplers 1

[Shade]
splitSizeLibTree 568,1346

I added the line manually, but without any effect ..

[Sampler]
LoadSamplerBank 0
SaveSamplerBank 0

[Samplers]
last_import_export_directory D:\LineDance\Tänze\Playlists
show_expanded 0
show_samplers 1

Issue confirmed on Win10

I just updated #4699
Confrimed using "/" as directory separator on all OS fixes the issue.
