| Summary | 0003423: Better defaults for file type associations & scanning | ||||
| Description | MediaMonkey (build 1062) has default settings that can be improved slightly In addition, the presentation of the file types differs from one location to another. Suggested changes are: 1) Improved defaults that are consistent 2) More consistent UI for selecting defaults (described in bug 3090) 3) Rationalize the UI for Associations/Scans (to be described in a new bug) 1) Improved defaults: The current defaults are listed below with an 'x'. Items that should added as new are indicated with an 'N'. Items that should be disabled are indicated with an 'D'. File Types: Associated Installer Scan/File Monitor AAC N N(a) APE x x APL x D (e) CDA x x x FLA x N(g) FLAC x x N(g) M3U x x x m4a x N(a) N m4b x N(a) N m4p x N(a) N MAC MP+ x (?) MP3 x x x MP4 MPC x x MPP x D(b) OGG x x x PCAST N (c) N (c) x (c) PLS x x x VQF x D (f) WAV WMA x x x (a) The installer should have a single entry for '[ ] AAC/M4A' (b) MPP shouldn't be associated by default--it's also used for MS Powerpoint (c) PCAST should be associated with MM but does it really need to be scanned? (e)/(f) Not sure why these are associated (g) Flac is becoming more and more common...shouldbe enabled by default for scan | ||||

Raised to 'immediate' -- we should fix this prior to release (especially default association with MPP which causes crashes when clicking MS Project files). |

Fixed in build 1069. - Defaults were modified, PCAST handling corrected. - Currently installer associates with all supported extensions. I'd prefer to not uncheck any of the extensions by default, because it would look strange if MM is started and we don't even suggest user to check all extenstions. On the other hand, we can completely remove some extensions of the installer, e.g. 'MPP' could be removed there and user would have only change to associate it later, when MM is executed. |

Tested 1069, and the Installer config looks good. However, in Tools > Options > File Types, there were a number of inconsistencies with the config in the installer: 1) The associated file types list / re-associate on startup, did not match the list of associated filetypes that the user selected in the installer! e.g. if the user associates only 2 filetypes, I would expect that this dialog would show only those 2 filetypes! 2) It would be nice if the FileTypes UI had the same layout for filetypes as the installer. |

|
Fixed in build 1070. 1) Fixed. Installer didn't work properly, now at least the extensions selected in the installer are checked in MM (and possibly some more in case user had checked them in MM and selected [x] Reregister...) 2) Would be nice, but should be deferred. |
|
|
Just noticed that in build 1092 none of the aac file types are enabled for scanning by default. I would suggest that .m4a should be enabled for scanning by default. note: I intentionally left out .m4b and .m4p because there may yet be some problems to be resolved. |
|
|
Fixed in build 1094. - This was actually working fine, there was a deeper problem - settings imported from MM 2.5 caused this problem. I added a code that adds extensions AAC, M4A, M4B and M4P to exts to be scanned (that's what we originally had, when no MM 2.5 was installed). - My fix should also some complaints about empty DBs used even when user already had something scanned, there were some problems in the installer handling of MM.ini file. |

Verified 1096. |
