"Drag MMIP into player" Yay! Thank you! I've been playing with permissions and could not get MMIP to install. You're a genius

Reason for that is that MMIP is simply ZIP file renamed to MMIP so that Windows and MMW knows it is intendent and packed as install package.

I found that I could open the .mmip with 7-zip, and just extract the .msz file in the archive to the \mediamonkey\skins directory of the portable installation.

Both working on 1424

Whhhhoooooo hooooooo !!! Looks like build 1421 has given me the "Add" button that I always wanted.

Initial test shows that it does exactly what I wanted :-) I actually think that this is more logical than double clicking the mmip file.

Edit: Unfortunately although a windows 7 build looks perfect the Wineskin implementation on my Mac is broken and won't launch. Build 1421 is listed as a developer build so fingers crossed that the problems will shortly be resolved,

Thank you. I'm very keen to see this added.

I'm unsure what the D&D fix implementation was with Unix paths. There's more than just the folder divider difference between Windows and Unix: Windows has drive letters and Unix has mount points in a unified file structure.

No, the [Add] button wasn't added, but D&D should accept the Linux/Mac paths now.

Re-opened the http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8091 in order to add the [Add] button.

This says fixed in 1415 but that does not seem to have added the button suggested with "A simple solution would be to add a 'Add...' button to the 'Extensions' dialog, to the left of the 'Find Updates' button, so that users could then browse for .mmip files."[/quote]
The fix was to accept mmip files from any path, so it should work with drag and drop on linux/mac os.

I'd stress that this is essential for any Wine user. Without it the mmip files need to have the contents installed manually.

I'm running a Mac with MM running under Wine.

If I drag a file onto MM it gets given a path to an MMIP file which is a [b]Unix[/b] style /User/mark/Desktop/abc.mmip which MM (which is [b]Windows[/b]) can't handle. It will want something like c:\Users\Mark\Desktop\abc.mmip.

Why not just drag & drop MMIP files onto the Player? I don't think a Portable app can register anything to open files as it doesn't use the registry.

Now that I have my instances of MM3 and MM4 running under Wine on my Macbook Air this has become a greater problem for me. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=58507&p=303676#p303676

All I need is a menu option ("Install MMIP") that browses for a an MMIP file and loads into MM. Alternatively extend the function of the File/Open menu item to operate on MMIP files.

Can I request that this can be added to MM4?

I assume that this has fallen on deaf ears and is not going to happen :(

It's a shame as it would be an easy addition.
