+---Topic: Create playlist macro started by phil


Posted by: phil on Dec. 29 2006,03:47

Hi,

I've recorded a very simple macro to create a winamp playlist (relative path) inside the selected directory via the context menu > macro.
It works but I've a small problem: the auto update custom list path to current working directory option is only effective in the GUI interface (if I select a folder, the list path is updated), not in my macro. So all my playlists are saved in the same place (not ideal for a relative path playlist).
How can I edit my macro to save the playlist in the selected directory? Is there a parameter for the current working directory?
Ideally I would like to set: ListPath=<currentdir>\list.m3u
Is it possible?
Many thanks in advance, your program is really useful

Phil

My macro:
MacroFileVersion=3506
[CreateList]
Template=<Artist> ; <Title> ; <Album> ; <Year> ; <Comment>
ListPath=E:\MP3\list.m3u
FieldSeparatorSequence= ;
AnyTagInfo=FALSE
AnyNonTagInfo=FALSE
FixedFieldWidth=TRUE
WinampPlaylistMode=TRUE
PlaylistRelativePaths=TRUE

Automatic macro fields like that are not available, but if you use macro parameters and execute the macro from a script, you can get this effect as long as the script sets the path to what you want.

I have this macro that will create a winamp playlist in the current dir.

MacroFileVersion=3506
[CreateList]
Template=<TrackNr>;<Artist>;<Title>;<Album>;<Year>
ListPath=.\00-playlist.m3u
FieldSeparatorSequence=;
AnyTagInfo=FALSE
AnyNonTagInfo=FALSE
FixedFieldWidth=FALSE
WinampPlaylistMode=TRUE
PlaylistRelativePaths=TRUE


A nice feature to add would be to make is possible to use filename like
ListPath=.\00 - <Artist> - <Album>.m3u

Sorry for the temporary board bug, here is a copy of the last "disappeared" post, by Klintan:
