Configuration Questions
Posted: 19 Oct 2022 08:35
We experienced corruption in Windows 10 and had to reformat the drive and reload everything. I did not have backup files with the Proppfrexx settings. I've got basic functionality working again, but have stumbled across two anomalies that I can't figure out. I loaded v4.3.2.0 onto this PC. The other PC we have running is still on v4.2.0.8. I'm using this PC to compare settings with.
First, we often run manual playlists (i.e., building a playlist by dragging and dropping from selected music folders). This works. However, I can't edit the list once the items are in the list. If I try to drag an item and move it, the little arrow on the left shows me where it is to be moved to, but nothing happens when I let go (drop). This happens whether the list is playing or just being built off-line (nothing playing). I can delete items and add new ones, but the new ones always go to the bottom of the list; I can't insert in the middle of the list. In searching the forum, the only setting I could find was the "Allow Edit running Scripts" option in the Scripts/Scheduling section, which is checked. What option am I overlooking?
The next anomaly I stumbled across is the playlist layout. If I select the columns and size them the way we want, how do I save that layout? As soon as I close things down and open up a new/blank playlist, all of the columns are back to factory defaults, which we don't want. I don't remember what I did a couple years ago to save the layout.
Lastly, should I be able to take the configuration file(s) from the working PC and move them to the new installation? Would that save me some time or just cause problems due to the differences in versions? Which files or directory would I copy and move to the new installation?
