Aliased singers not scanned in

Post by DeusExMachina »

As the heading says. Singers aliased from another venue are not showing up in the new venue. Actual alias file intact, and linked in Finder. Started in at least d66, so might be related to precode for venue reload.

Might be related to running off RAM disk, or, to running rsync via terminal to synchronize the RAM disk contents with an onside version post-show.

right, the aliases might be pointing to the wrong spot?

I doubt that is it. First, I checked that. The aliases actually point to the correct destination. Second, they are active and linked in Finder. The issue first came to my attention when various singers complained their names were not on the server page's popup list.

I just used Terminal, of course! :)

Code: Select all

diskutil erasevolume HFS+ 'RAM Disk' `hdiutil attach -nomount ram://1500000`
And then I reconciled with rsync

Code: Select all

rsync –ae --delete /Volumes/RAM DISK ~/Music/kJams/kJams Library or somesuch.
Note: Probably gonna stop using rsync, though, as it takes just about as long as just copying the folder back overtop the original. Still looking for a cheap/free way to reconcile the two folders. Maybe as each change is made.

yeah it turns out that when you copy the "kJams Library" folder to another volume, the aliases all still point to the original volume and NOT within the newly copied folder :(

sorry, this is a major flaw i realize, making this ram disk idea completely fail.

Yeah, this was also what I determined from testing. I think there is a way around it with the right switches set during copy, and a bit of terminal hacking, but I may just pray for a stable d74….

i may actually be able to fix that problem however. it's interesting enough to me to be worth it, it means you can drag your "kJams" folder to a new volume and have it "just work" which is *supposed* to work anyway.
