playlist, it changes songs displayed. It makes putting together a
set somewhat cumbersome. Is there a way to prevent the contents of
the song windows from flipping through the contents of the
playlists as you drag accross them. Not an easy one to explain.
Unless I specifically click on a playlist, I'd rather not see the
contents. It would be great if the song window contents remained
static while I drag and drop.</p>
<p>Very interested if you have a work around, but even when I drag
and drop a track into Ableton, when dragging across playlists, I
lose sight of what's important.</p>
<p>Aside from that and the occassional (ITunes cannot save the song
database < paraphrased) error, great software.</p>

<p>thanks for your message. The behavior you are seeing is indeed
annoying.<br>
It will be fixed in beaTunes 3.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Next time I get the other (completely unrelated) iTunes database
error I'll post it.</p>
<p>Frankly, compared to Rapid Evolution and Mixed in Key, aside the
the playlist issue, you've done a great job. Are you a DJ as
well?</p>
<p>Regards,<br>

<p>No, I don't DJ - and seeing what other people can do with (what
used to be) the turntables, it's better that way :-)</p>
<p>I'm a way better coder than DJ...</p>

that fixes it.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/74370762011-06-03T21:41:49Z2011-06-03T21:41:51ZDrag and Drop Implementation Issues<div><p>Hey Hendrik,</p>
<p>Here some issues I ran into with EA6. Perhaps already fixed with
official release. If you'd like more info let me know.</p>
<p>right clicking on sort columns shows a list and allows to turn
them all on, not off. Also list is too long for 1600x900
resolution, cannot see much below the letter S. All these columns
cannot be de-selected (or seen).</p>
<p>ITunes Database error (will get the actually error to you later,
keep forgetting.)</p>
<p>Cannot set Rating from column view.</p>
<p>Dropping a file into a playlist still blanks out the matching
songs view. The upper Song selection view is fixed.</p>
<p>After having clicked on the sort column "bpm" to sort by bpm,
the spinging ring (hourglass) icon apears and won't go away.</p>
<p>Nice work!<br>

<p>Finally have that iTunes database error:</p>
<p>"The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough
access privileges for this operation."</p>
<p>[check box] Do not warn me again</p>
<p>.:pl</p></div>Philippe Levytag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/74370762011-06-05T11:39:55Z2011-06-05T11:39:55ZDrag and Drop Implementation Issues<div><p>Hi Philippe,</p>
<p>regarding your earlier post:</p>
<ul>
<li>sort columns: at least for the main table you can use the menu
item View -> View Options</li>
<li>setting rating from column view is not supported.</li>
<li>matchlist blank: this will be fixed in the next minor update -
thanks for reporting this!</li>
<li>the spinning ring - is it blue or rainbow colored?</li>
</ul>
<p>Regarding the library save problem. I don't see how that is
still related to beaTunes. There seem to be a number of issues with
this connected to iTunes. At least that's what a quick google
search resulted in.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
