Back up

[lenskaraoke]

I want to transfer kjams to another laptop along with all the library and venues as a back up. How do I do it.

Thanks oss, as I have most of my karaoke from mp3+g this does'nt help becouse of the following

'if you have imported pre-existing MP3+G files, this procedure will not help you. In that case, you will need to move all your music, then throw out your library folder and re-import them from the new location. Unfortunately you will loose your playlists and any singers / venues / meta info. I do plan to address this before "1.0" however.'
Has this been fixed.

no it has not yet been fixed. but i've been bit by bit adding the necessary support to make it work. there are a few remaining things:

1) i need to make the library alias based. aliases by design allow you to re-point their "relative root" so you can do things like move the file somewhere else, and simply indicate the relative root and the file will still always be found. Most of the work on this has actually been completed. I'm only holding off until there are no significant bugs, so i can turn on this feature. There are still a couple critical bugs.
2) i need to add a pref panel for all the "add to library" search paths (basically a list of relative roots to try when looking for songs) This part is easy and would only take me one day

When it's done you can just move everything over, and simply re-point your search path to the new location. presently there is only one search path and that is your "kJams Library" folder, which only contains the songs you ripped.

Does version 48 now do this.

you will know when you see a new preference panel for setting search paths.
