The issues relates to special folders such as "My Music" folder on XP and "Music" on Vista.
No matter what you do it seems Windows always makes folders "Readonly" as they are not real folders. I tested on a XP with FAT which has no user permission capability and only rudimentary attributes and not matter how I removed the "readonly" attribute - Windows restored it. The MyPicks code test if the folder is Readonly and so it will abort before trying to write. There is the odd fact that playlists can be saved in "My Music"/"Music" - and on examining the code it seems that if the "Readonly" attribute is ignored - playlists are written as binary files. MyPicks uses a Perl library routine which saves OPML files as "text" and I think this may be problem - Windows somewhow allows binary files to be saved in Music folders. Solution: The rewrite of Favorites in SC 7.0 makes MyPicks redundant in SC 7.0 and there is no active development of 6.5.x anymore so I think there is little point in rewriting MyPicks to write binary opml files to support these folders. The workaround is to use an ordinary and not special folder ( even within "Music"/"My Music") such as one called Playlist in "My Music"/"Music". -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24797 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
