Deleting Live Folders and Ignoring Duplicate Files?

Post by DFT »

Hi ...

Two questions please.

1. After you import a folder to the database, is it OK to delete 'Live' folders? I've found when live folders are searched it takes forever. I'd like to just leave a single folder where I add new songs.

2. Will SKP automatically 'reject' duplicate files, i.e., files of the same name in the same directory structure and already in the database if you are adding additional new files placed in the same directory?

Thank you.

1. You may delete live folders and use one folder for adding files. However if you move files from that folder later you would have to run Validate to update your database.

2. Current version only checks for duplicate file locations, so the answer to your question is no. But we are working on smarter duplicate detection and it should be available pretty soon.
