Disklavier

This is great news!  Thanks for the update.

I'm currently working on supporting cut/copy/paste of songs, and entire albums (including playlist support).  This is mostly because drag and drop is somewhat painful to do a song at a time, especially if the destination is far away from the source.

During this coding effort I discovered a bug that I wanted to bring to everyone's attention, because it could actually be harmful.

The default operation on a drag is a "MOVE" instead of a "COPY".  Normally this is fine, but since the piano software itself doesn't have a concept of "MOVE", I am simulating it by doing a copy followed by a delete.  Again, normally this is fine...unless the copy operation actually fails...in which case, it still goes ahead and DELETES the source.  This is really bad, since I noticed that the only way I've been able to make it happen is when I tried to move a painosoft (protected! from copying) song to my From/To PC folder.  Of course, the operation failed (the song was protected), but then DKVBrowser went ahead and deleted the file!  This is exactly what you wouldn't want to happen...

Unfortunately, this isn't an easy thing to solve, so one of the solutions on my list is to remove the concept of "moving" anything...and allow the user to manually delete to source if the copy is successful... 

Anyway, please be careful until this is solved.  As I've always said, "Use at your own risk." but I certainly want it to be completely safe.

Subject: [disklavier] Mark IV Disklavier DKVBrowser with Macintosh works ... Thanks Nancy










  


    
            Just to let everyone know that I got my Mac Pro running Leopard to run DKV Browser. 



After connecting to the DKV ####  network under the Airport Icon in the right hand of the 

menu bar, I ran DKV Browser (Mac Version).    (First,  I quit Mail and Internet Browser, not sure 

why this is key, but solved my problem with error in getting connected to the Disklavier only 

and was a great solution that Nancy offered).



I now have an exported list of all the midis and professional albums on my Mark IV.  My 

husband is in seventh heaven as he is now able to search for a song and play it from his 

office.  He can also control the volume and nice touch.



Thanks to Nancy and Kevin for providing this great software for the users on the forum.



Joan
