Synchronize Crates with Folders

This function will automatically update your crates with newly added files from a specified folder. This option works best if you mirror your crates to folders on your hard drive. This means you have one crate to one folder. For example, let's say you have a folder on your hard drive named "New Music," and you always dump your new files in to this folder. You also have a crate in SSL named New Music which is mirrored to the folder. However when you add new files to the folder, SSL doesn't recognize the new files and you have to keep manually adding those new files every time you put something new in the folder. With this function, it will automatically add your new files and update your crates accordingly.

The general command is...

java -jar -Xms512m -Xmx512m ScratchTools.jar "Library Location" --sync "crate name;/folder/location/;another crate;/another/folder/location/"


As you can see, you can do more than one crate at a time, just make sure to separate them with a semicolon, and specify the folder.


So now an example. Let's say you have a crate named 'New Music' and some tracks in it.



And you have the crate mirrored to a folder, also named 'New Music,' which contains the files and is located in

C:\Documents and Settings\Todd(username)\My Documents\My Music\New Music






Then the command you want to type is

java -jar -Xms512m -Xmx512m ScratchTools.jar "C:\Documents and Settings\Todd\My Documents\My Music" --sync "New Music;Documents and Settings\Todd\My Documents\My Music\New Music"




hit enter and you should see something like this...




That's it. Open SSL and you should have the new files in your crate.



As you can see, the new files have been added. There's no length or BPM for them yet as they haven't had their overviews built yet, so this will make it easy to tell which ones are the new files so you can build overviews for them.
