USDX 2024.1.0 does not care about SongDir1 entry in config.ini
jazz-messenger opened this issue · comments
Actual behaviour
After the initial call of USDX a folder was created in ~/Music/UltraStar Deluxe/.
config.ini is in ~/Library/Application Support/UltraStarDeluxe1.3/ which has been created by USDX, too.
I changed the Directories section where SongDir1 was initially empty to
[Directories]
SongDir1=~/Music/UltraStar Deluxe
WebScoresDir=
I created song subfolders inside the folder ~/Music/UltraStar Deluxe containing a txt file plus jpg mp4 and mp3, but USDX tells me that it did not find any song.
Expected behaviour
USDX shows me the song I created the sub folder before.
Steps to reproduce
see above
Details
Provide some additional information:
- USDX version: 2024.1.0
- Operating System + version: macOS Sonoma 14.3
I added another SongDir entry. And guess what... now it worked.
Did you add the other entry as an absolute path by any chance? I remember also trying to use ~ at first but at least on Linux that doesn't appear to get expanded.
It's probably not too difficult to replace a leading ~ with the actual home directory internally, for it appears to be a common enough source of issues/confusion? I doubt it would break anyone's existing config, and would also make things more portable for Linux/Mac users.
(just don't expect USDX to start supporting generic environment variables in the config)
Actually, both paths start with ~/
I tried with different files in parallel. There is a slight chance that it had to do with a txt file that contained misspelled file names or a combination of both.
It would be great to indicate something to the user like "Oops! I tried to import songs and x out of y had issues and were not considered."
