Version 3.1.2 is released

[SubJunk]

The "vfolders" configuration does not seem to be working.

Please see a recent UMS.conf for the descriptions of the virtual_folders_file and virtual_folders entries, which were changed in 3.0.0

Yes, I already did but there is no hint how the file (vfolder.conf) has to look like.
There is only statet:

# The location of your virtual folders config file, which contains a
# json-formatted list of virtual folder instructions.

What means an "virtual folder instruction"? I did not found any information in this forum since 2.x versions.
I already wrote a small test program to check how the "Gson" parser from google does handle this - but I had no luck - even if I had used the following syntax below, but I really do not like to debug UMS to find out how to use this thing...

Code: Select all

[  
 {
      "name":"HD-Movies",
      "files":[{"path":"G:\\HD-Movies_2"},{"path":"I:\\HD_Movies"},{"path":"K:\\HD_Movies"}]
   }
]

OK, something like this worked for me... (for setting it directly within the UMS.conf)

Code: Select all

virtual_folders =HD|G:\\HD-Movies_2,I:\\HD_Movies,K:\\HD_Movies;

But it still does not describe how the vfolders.conf has to look like for 3.x versions.

(I know that the configuration key has changed from "vfolders" to "virtual_folders_file")

Try:

Code: Select all

[ 
   {
      "name":"HD-Movies",
      "files":["G:\\HD-Movies_2","I:\\HD_Movies","K:\\HD_Movies"]
   }
]

I already have tried this, but it simply does not work - there is nothing in the debug output...

[
{
"name":"HD-Movies",
"files":["G:\\HD-Movies_2","I:\\HD_Movies","K:\\HD_Movies"]
}
]

and even a simple combination of multiple folders in the configuration does not work e.g.

Code: Select all

virtual_folders = HD|G:\\HD-Movies_2,I:\\HD_Movies;SD|K:\\Movies,G:\\Movies_2;

is not working...

Using the external file works for me, I just tested it with that exact syntax, are you sure you have the file in the installation directory and not the profile directory?

[Samonosuke]

I have placed the file beside the UMS.conf which is in the ProgramData folder.
Ok, I will try to place the file next to the executable.
Thanks for now!

[Edit]
Yes, this did the trick! (My used syntax was correct from the beginning on )
I guess it would be better to place "vfolders.conf" next to the "UMS.conf", but this is currently not supported.

In the next version, the file will be read from the profile folder, plus there will be an example file included.
