Live Folders Auto Updating and Import Mask?

[DFT]

OK ... here's your friendly pest back again with another conundrum.

Is the Import Masked locked to the Live Folders?

I cannot seem to get the behavior I believe I have set up for updating from live folders.

All my files are in the discid-track#-artist-title format. However when I choose this mask I still get the entire name loaded as a single name under Title.

I would like to add that I only keep a few folders in my Live Folders, as otherwise it takes forever to update. Also on the import screen those same folder no longer show as I've added a few other folders that properly imported and those folders were subsequently deleted by me from the Live Folders group.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

I must add that subsequently editing the names to properly assign them to the fields is unbelievably tedious. No keyboard shortcuts to open 'Edit' and no being able to continue from the Song Properties screen to another song to rename. It's brutal.

Thanks.

Please e-mail an example of a file you are having problems with when importing into the database to [email protected]. You may also send a screenshot of your Import Songs dialog box.

Hi Adam ...

Sent today.

You didn't answer my question: is the Import Mask setting supposed to work when auto updating from a Live Folder?

Thanks.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

Thank you, Adam.

Everything is working as expected with your help.
