+---Topic: Producing a log text file after an operation started by TokyoElbow
Posted by: Elbow on Aug. 21 2003,12:05
Not sure if Ive missed this but does MP3TS create a log of operations?
This would be a usefull utility for me when mass checking retagging with filters.
Id like to be able to see which dirs have been tagged and then move the albums to another area.

The undo data files are sorta like logs for the last operation of each tool. They are located in the install directory, and have the filename extension ".und". Due to a problem in Delphi (see < this thread > for more info) I will have to change the format of these to a more unintelligible format in an upcoming version though.

So would it be possible to add a log feature to Mp3TS?
Option to create log text file of the albums/files that were tagged.
please?????
with cherrys and sugar on top.

In your opinion (or anyone else's who reads this for that matter), how should such a log entry look, and exactly what info should it contain? Please give examples for an auto rename log entry and an auto tag log entry.

For my personal use I do lots of re tagging and need to know which albums were touched because after they have been 'touched' I like to run my special enforcing script thru them.
An even better idea/request would be to somehow move the folders and all contents that were touched to a temp dir. Or flaging the dir's that have changed by adding something to the folder name
ex
before tagged
(hed) Planet Earth - 2003 - Blackout
10,000 Maniacs - 1993 - MTV Unplugged
12 Stones - 2002 - 12 Stones
after touched
!!!(hed) Planet Earth - 2003 - Blackout
!!!10,000 Maniacs - 1993 - MTV Unplugged
!!!12 Stones - 2002 - 12 Stones
This way would enable me to grab all those folders and do a mass move to a temp directory.
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
Folders that were changed:
(hed) Planet Earth - 2003 - Blackout
10,000 Maniacs - 1993 - MTV Unplugged
12 Stones - 2002 - 12 Stones
311 - 2001 - From Chaos
ACDC - 1980 - Back In Black
Ace Of Base - 1993 - The Sign
Aerosmith - 1980 - Greatest Hits
Aerosmith - 1989 - Pump
Aerosmith - 1994 - Big Ones
Alanis Morissette - 1999 - MTV Unplugged
Alejandro Sanz - 2002 - MTV Unplugged
Ali Farka Toure with Ry Cooder - 1994 - Talking Timbuktu
Alice In Chains - 1992 - SAP (EP)
Alice In Chains - 1994 - Jar Of Flies (EP)

Ok, I'll think about adding something log-related to the todo list anyway.

Just had a thought.
The process results preview: Option to copy to text file?

That could be useful, I'll add it to the list, thanks.
