Request for MakeBat

[mia]

It's possible, if i use MakeBat plugin for create m3u playlist, sorting files into directories? Include MakeBat any option for sorting? Thanks for answers.

[icfu]

Mark the desired folders, Press Alt-F5, choose .m3u extension, press OK, enter

%P%N

as command.

MakeBat is a packer plugin creating batch files with the marked files, nothing else. The order of the listed file names depends on you. If you have sorted the source panel by name the playlist will be sorted by name, too.

Not work for me I have sorted files by name, but this not work for subdirectories. %P%N just add full pathname. I using %D%M (relative paths). So, i must write my own app

[icfu]

Second checkbox? Recursively check subdirectories?
Try again...

for me it works - I have all my mp3-albums in a folder called "albums"
If i select the folder iron maiden wich contains several albums and use
the batch-plugin as icfu said i get this a m3u-file with:
<drive>:\albums\iron maiden\<album title>\<songtitel>.mp3
so you must be doin something wrong ?

or have I missunderstood you?

Well, i have directory "metallica" with some subdirectories "kill em all", "garage days"... with some albums into. I want to make playlist for directory "metallica". Sorting in TC is by name. Mark directory "metallica", press ALT+F5, choose "m3u", write to line with name of playlist this: "m3u:00-all.m3u" (this will make playlist in current directory), press enter, in next step i choose "%D%M" and press enter. My playlist looks like:

metallica\and justice for all\03-exe of the beholder.mp3
metallica\and justice for all\05-the shortest straw.mp3
metallica\and justice for all\01-blackened.mp3
metallica\and justice for all\06-harvester of sorrow.mp3
metallica\and justice for all\09-dyers eve.mp3
metallica\and justice for all\02-and justice for all.mp3
.
.
.
.
.
.
metallica\metallica\01-enter sandman.mp3
metallica\metallica\02-sad but true.mp3
metallica\metallica\09-of wolf and man.mp3
metallica\metallica\06-dont tread on me.mp3
metallica\metallica\05-wherever i may roam.mp3
metallica\metallica\10-the god that failed.mp3
metallica\metallica\04-the unforgiven.mp3
.
.
.

etc...

looks like unsorted, right? But why? Any reason?

mh..strange - i did what you did and for me
it works just fine:

Evanescence\Le Nouveau Gothique\play.m3u
Evanescence\Le Nouveau Gothique\Evanescence - 01 - Intro.Ogg
Evanescence\Le Nouveau Gothique\Evanescence - 02 - Where Will You Go.Ogg
Evanescence\Le Nouveau Gothique\Evanescence - 03 - Bring Me To Life.Ogg
Evanescence\Le Nouveau Gothique\Evanescence - 04 - Whisper.Ogg
Evanescence\Le Nouveau Gothique\Evanescence - 05 - Field Of Innocence.Ogg
Evanescence\Le Nouveau Gothique\Evanescence -.
.
.
Evanescence\Origin\Evanescence - 11 - Eternal.mp3

and no matter if i choose in TC Sort by name/date/size the list is always
sorted here....

[icfu]

The only reason I could imagine how that could happen is when you don't sort by name (Alt-F3) but you press Alt-F7 (don't sort) instead.

first: its CTRL and not ALT
second: as posted no matter how tc sorts the list is allways sorted...

[icfu]

first: its CTRL and not ALT

True.

second: as posted no matter how tc sorts the list is allways sorted...

This is true only on NTFS partitions where "unsorted" and "sorted by name" looks identical.

On FAT/FAT32 "unsorted" means "sorted by physical order on disk" and can be different and the plugin will show exactly that.

[mia]

Right, in subdirectories is no matter, how method of sort is selected. All depends to order at copy files to directory

[mia]

ICFU: yes it's true, i use FAT32 and all looks that files are copied to playlist just as are physically placed onto disk

[Sir_SiLvA]

On FAT/FAT32 "unsorted" means "sorted by physical order on disk" and can be different and the plugin will show exactly that.

I am using FAT32 and didnt have seen that cause mostly I copy my files in the right order

mia: than the solutions is -> STRG+F3 and THEN make the m3u-file
