Chapter 11: SongPicker Enhancements

SongPicker Enhanced – subfolder support!

The SongPicker has been enhanced and now can optionally display songs from sub-folders.

For example, if you get a song list of c:\bb, it can include songs in subfolders like c:\bb\styles34. You can also lock

the SongPicker to always open in the same folder and use the same list to keep track of all songs on your disk.

Other enhancements like “change folder,” and “go up one folder” are included.

The current folder name is displayed in the title bar, with the total # of songs displayed. There are several items

related to the folder settings at the bottom of the SongPicker.

The Current Folder name is displayed.

The folder can be changed, either by:

1. Going “up” a folder (e.g. from c:\bb\styles to c:\bb).

2. Choosing a folder from recently used favorites folder.

3. Selecting the new folder.

When the new folder is chosen, the song list for that folder will be displayed. The song list may need to be rebuilt, if

so the program will do that automatically.

If the “Always open in this folder” item is selected, the song picker will always open up in the specified folder. So

if you put all of your songs in c:\songs, you can make the SongPicker always open to the c:\songs folder!

If “Include Subfolders” is selected, the SongPicker list will contain songs from the folder and any subfolders. So if

you have subfolders to c:\songs like c:\songs\country and c:\songs\jazz, you can see/search all of these songs in the

same SongPicker dialog.

Tip: If you choose c:\ as your folder, the SongPicker would find every Band-in-a-Box file on your hard drive and display it in

the SongPicker. You might instead find it easier to put all of your songs within a folder like c:\songs, and have various

subfolders to that. And then set the SongPicker to always open up in the c:\songs folder. Then you’ll have access to all of

your songs easily.

Use the Favorites folder button to jump to other folders easily.
