I've never had anything to do with that particular script. Obviously the first thing you need to do is make all the changes necessary for it to work in SMP. If it works in JSP v2.4.0 right now, there is absolutely no way it's going to work without some tweaks. @TheQwertiest has detailed documentation on the changes required...

Hi, this is not working:
Code: [Select]
var objShell = new ActiveXObject('Shell.Application');
objShell.NameSpace(panel.tf('$directory_path(%path%)')).ParseName(panel.tf('%filename_ext%')).ModifyDate = '2018/09/07 15:51';
both panel.tf('$directory_path(%path%)') and panel.tf('%filename_ext%') return a correct value for the file to be changed, but date does not get modified.
If I run the same code, replacing 'panel.tf' values, from WSH, it does work. Any clue? Thanks.

Seems to work fine for me?? Bear in mind that if you have a last modified column in your playlist, it won't update automatically since you're updating the file externally. Running this directly after may help...

Code: [Select]
fb.RunContextCommandWithMetadb("Tagging/Reload info from file(s) if changed", panel.metadb);

Actually it works. The reason my code is not working is because there are three lines just before,
Code: [Select]
var handles = fb.CreateHandleList(panel.metadb);
handles.UpdateFileInfoFromJSON(JSON.stringify(obj));
_.dispose(handles);
And it takes some time to update the file, i guess asynchronously, so when my code is run the file is not available. Is there any way to make sure UpdateFileInfoFromJSON has done its job before I update file modified time?

Thanks for that tip!

Yes it's async but I would expect a single track to get updated pretty much instantly?? You get a progress dialog for longer operations and the component has no way of knowing when it's complete.

Anyway, check File>Preferences>Advanced>Tagging>General>Preserve file creation/access/modification time. That probably bypasses the need to write old timestamps back??

Not really, otherwise my code would have worked. I solved it with a window.setTimeout call.

That could help. Thanks!.

In the sample script "Thumbs", I can search with %artist% in the last fm artist database. I have a lot of classical music and I'm interested in composer pictures. The composers name is stored in my %performer% tag. How can I search in the last fm database with %performer%?

Open the configuration window and enter this as the first line of the script before var panel...

Code: [Select]
DEFAULT_ARTIST = '$meta(performer,0)';

You could use %performer% if you were sure all tags are single value. Lookups of multi-value tags would not work well.
