Undo Auto organise action?

Post by Lankylad »

Hello,
I have an urgent question although I suspect with all the other frustrations I have found getting used to using Mediamonkey that it is already too late.
Some time ago I setup Autoorganise to keep my music files in a particular order. I keep my audiobooks and my music in totally separate folders and use different filing systems to keep them organised. I have been reluctant to use media monkey for my audiobooks as well as my music until I get used to it and finding ways around the problems that crop up. However, knowing that I was about to rip some of my old audiobook cds and add them to my audiobooks folder I added my audiobooks folder and marked it as a folder to be monitored, thinking that would pick up the new books as I added them. Last night I went to bed with it checking through my audiobooks for the first time so I thought nothing of the delay in time and left it alone. I was horrified to discover just now that it has moved 90% of my audiobooks into my music folder!!!
I now have a completely full hard drive and all my stuff (about 550gig in total) mixed up to hell!

My question, I cannot find an undo last action command or similar equivalent, where is it, please?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no UNDO for that as you are physically change paths to files.

Only thing you can do is to re Auto-Organize them to right folders.

You can change the Auto-Organize rules to do the organizing properly. Then either edit the files or use Tools > Auto-Organize Files with the same rule to move the Audiobook files to where they belong.

A belated thank you to you both. My post didn't get approved for 2 days so I assumed that it had got lost and didn't come back after a day to keep seeing if it was there. Thanks for trying to assist me.
