Re: Mark IV Disklavier DKVBrowser with Macintosh works ... Thanks Nancy

2007-12-31 by jheitzeb1

Kevin, 

Thanks for all the time and effort in developing this software for the Mark IV and 
Macintosh.  I know that we will truly enjoy controlling the piano and volume from our 
laptop and office computers.  

It is still taking us two starts of application to get connection to work and also have to 
force quit from the Mac doc, but otherwise working well.  My husband is using it now and 
is in seventh heaven now that he can find a song so easily.  I originally set up all the midis 
on albums on the Mark IV and he had no idea where the files were located and now he can 
find them with your great search routine.  Thanks .... Thanks ... Thanks ..... 

I have not tried editing song names or making playlists, is this available on the Mac 
version?

Joan

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...
