win7 libraries not accepted as music folder #5846
Comments
Commented by: bkgood A couple of things: (this is as much for the general developer population as it is for the reporter) Anyway, times like this I'm tempted to write native code but that's a pretty gross solution. Hopefully, this is something that we can figure out one day, because we're stuck with this from MS at least until the next Windows, if not much longer. The feature really isn't a bad idea, shame they couldn't have just implemented it with NTFS symlinks or junctions or whatever they're called. Thanks for the report Daniel! |
Commented by: esbrandt Users having massive issues with this, especially 1st time users. On initial launch our "Choose music library directory " points to the Windows Music library , which is the directory returned by QDesktopServices::MusicLocation. Many user simply select this directory, and as the OP said, Mixxx ignores the input and returns a blank library. We have already too much "Mixxx blows - Cant even find my music" feedback.
IMO more a High priority than a wishlist bug because it affect ALL Windows 7/8 users. |
Commented by: esbrandt Raising this from Wishlist to high priority cause its the single most reported issue from our feedback form and more than 3/4 of our users are on Windows. As said earlier, this bug affects potentially all Windows 7/8 users . |
Commented by: drewnoakes I thought I'd just chime in to say that I recently did a fresh install of Mixxx 1.10.1 (r3110) on Win 8 (x64) and selected my Music 'library'. It seems to have worked properly. |
Commented by: rryan Hm, can we get a second person to confirm this is fixed? |
Commented by: kain88-de I can't confirm this for win7. Selecting a library will result in the dialog box complaining about that I should choose a Folder instead of a library. My guess is that the libraries in win8 are changed a bit compared to win7 so that it works there. I can live with the warning about the libraries in win7 it's better then the silent failing that we had before |
Commented by: esbrandt Selecting a Windows 8 Library folder does not work with latest lp:mixxx/1.11. You`ll get the warning dialog Max talked about. We probably just see the "workaround" in current QT linked in #1. Warning message in screenshot (german) reads: "You have selected a library. Choose a folder instead." |

Running Mixxx 1.9.0 x64 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
If I try to set Mixxx's music library folder to one of the Libraries they introduced in Windows 7, the input from the dialog box seems to be ignored. Should return the default library at the very least, but also possibly aggregate all of the folders that are in the library.
