Music Folder Details

The Music Folder ID is the unique identifier for a given folder.

When the dialog is open in the New mode a random ID is generated for your convenience. You may customize it if you like. It must be a minimum of 5 characters and a maximum of 10 characters.

When the dialog is opened in Edit or Import modes the ID is locked and the ID from the selected Music Folder will be used.

The Music Folder Name is the user friendly name that will be used to reference the folder from the user interface.

When the dialog is opened in New mode you must enter a Name for the Music Folder. It is not required to be unique but it is highly recommended to reduce confusion.

When the dialog is opened in Edit mode you are able to modify the Name before saving.

When the dialog is opened in Import mode the Name stored in the Music Folder file will be used. If you wish to change it you must edit the Music Folder entry after import.

The Folder field behaves differently based on the dialog mode.

In the New mode the user will enter or select the folder location for the Music Folder to be placed.

In the Edit mode the Folder field will contain the full path and folder configuration file. It can be updated to reflect the correct location if it has been moved or updated. This is helpful when a Music Folder located on an external drive has changed drive letters or location.

In the Import mode you are asked to enter or select the full path and folder configuraiton file from the drives. The Name and ID are then imported when you click Save.

The Save Button stores the current changes and updates the Library Manager.

The Cancel Button exits the Details Dialog box without saving any changes.

This button displays the file/folder lookup window. This allows you to select the appropriate location or location and file base on the dialogs mode.
