FoF - Song Manager 3.24

[TypusMensch]

Update 2.2.:
- added "create song.ogg in song directories (if not exists)"
- added "create preview.ogg in song directories (if not exists)"
- added "save song directories in TXT"

The preview.ogg are taken from the song.ogg at the postion of 22 seconds for a length of 22 seconds.

Remember: A preview.ogg is 200-400KB. So when you have a tracklist of 1000 songs (i.e.)... you should be have the space on your hdd (500MB). The same with the song.ogg. Here the program copy the guitar.ogg (5-10MB). This copy is the same like the known "affe.bat".

Awesome job thank you for your hard work

Update 2.3:
- add a playlist with repeat and shuffle

(you can see a picture on the first side of this thread)

Edit:
Doubleclick on a song in the tracklist will start the song, too.
If you are in playlist and you press "delete" this track will be delete out of the playlist.

MIDI import is now working in EOF but when I try to launch it from FOF SM I get an error. I looked at the path that EOF was launching with from FOF SM and I see a couple of problems.

Firstly, you aren't adding the trailing directory separator to the FOF songs folder. Secondly, the whole pathname needs to be encased in "" quotation marks so that filenames with spaces are properly handled. Below is an example of what I am talking about:

The full path to my song is "c:\games\songs\play ball
otes.mid"

FOF SM launches EOF with these parameters:
c:\games\songsplay
and
ball
otes.mid

FOF SM needs to launch with this parameter: "c:\games\songs\play ball
otes.mid" including the quotation marks.

This also affects loading of the "notes.eof" file from your program.

Update 2.4:
- save and load playlists
- bugfix with error to load notes in EOF [thx NewCreature]

A cool option idea:
- Being able to delete all song.ogg files that are similar to guitar.ogg files (by about .5 Mb).

Very Useful Tool. Thank you for this!

i get this error when i do the find songs with less then 5 notes function. "ist kein gültiger Integerwert" is not a valid integer value.

hmmmm. when the program stopped with this error, on this track can you make a screenshot of your "difficulties and instruments" - table and show it here?

I have also noticed this error. The first time it encounters a file w/this problem it stops parsing (the file shows N/A for all the midi fields). I can find a couple problem files and/or upload a cap, but it occurs to me - why not just ignore .mid files with parsing problems?

The goal of the routine is to identify songs w/difficulties that have less than 10 notes in them. This means tracks are divided into two groups: songs with "false" difficulties that need removal and songs that are fine. Instead of stopping the scan with a complaint, just skip the song as if it were fine. You can't parse it properly in the first place (or it wouldn't complain) so just consider it "good" and move on. That would be the most effective solution.

For me, the ability to at least obscure "phantom" difficulties is a killer feature. I'm a "medium" player so I actually use the lower difficulties.

I don't know if this is a vista thing, but when I open it, it opens fine until I load the library. Then is gives me a error message of "Ungultiger Dateiname." After that it won't do anything, even close. I have to terminate it with task manager.

Wonderful program

Maybe your trackname e.g.:
"C:\Fret_On_Fire_VersionXXX+RFMod_VersionXXX\data\songs\Artist\Song.............."
is too long.

I have found some errors, when the trackname is longer than 255 character. So try to use a shorter name. Remove your FoF in this like:
"C:\FoF\data\songs\..."

[Lysdestic]

The only thing I had the chance to do was point it to a directory of C:\Program Files\Frets on Fire\data\songs.

Loaded the library, then, 'splosion.
