Create a way to prevent the overwrite notification box
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2015 11:54 pm
I have a LOT of songs to import (200,000+ still to go) so I like to take a group of 500-1000 tracks and put them into an import directory, start importing them and go to bed (or go to work, etc.). It's *VERY* annoying to come back and find that the process was stopped, sometimes only a few tracks in, with an overwrite notification box! This happens when MM doesn't have enough information from the input MP3 files and dumps more than one into the "Unknown" directory. Since all of my artwork is called "folder.jpg" it wants to know what to do. Should it overwrite the existing file? No, No to All, Yes, or Yes to All. Once I answer it with either of the "to All" choices then it imports the rest of the tracks without stopping (and then I have to re-locate the now missing artwork).
First of all, I don't know why there isn't an option to handle it the way Windows treats this situation by adding subscripts to the end of the file name like folder (2).jpg, folder (3).jpg, etc.
That said, I would love it if a default response could be entered in settings somewhere. It would save me hours of wasted free time whenever this situation happens (about 9 out of every 10 imports). Here's the dialog box I'm referring to:
Thanks!
