Aliased singers not scanned in
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.

just tested on mac, it's working just fine for me?

Re: Aliased singers not scanned in
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.
Re: Aliased singers not scanned in
right, the aliases might be pointing to the wrong spot?

Re: Aliased singers not scanned in
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.
Re: Aliased singers not scanned in

Re: Aliased singers not scanned in
I just used Terminal, of course!
And then I reconciled with rsync
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.
Code: Select all
diskutil erasevolume HFS+ 'RAM Disk' `hdiutil attach -nomount ram://1500000`
Code: Select all
rsync –ae --delete /Volumes/RAM DISK ~/Music/kJams/kJams Library or somesuch.
Re: Aliased singers not scanned in
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.

Re: Aliased singers not scanned in
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….
Re: Aliased singers not scanned in
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.
