[Feature Request] Bulk edit the "Number" using the magic wand button

[yurividal]

Hi. I made a python script to that added a "Number" attribute to all my songs. The Number shows in the metadata information, as expected:

But, in order for it to be recognized by opensong, and become searchable, i have to manually click the magic wand button, on every song. Once i click the magic wand, the number appears as a pink number in front of the song title, and i can search fot it. Like this:

Is there a way to apply this for all the songs in bulk?

In addition to the metadata: number key, you also have to add the number to the quickAccess: number key so it's searchable, and probably update/delete the shows.json (cache) file.

I forgot to auto add to the quickAccess when importing (if the metadata number is available) so I'll add that.

thanks! the trick was to delete the shows.json file, or else, it kept overwritting and deleting my quickaccess : number (which was already part of my script).

the first time i oppened freeshow after deleting shows.json, it took a while (almost 3 minutes) for the app to start. But it seems to be all good now.

Great! It takes a while because it has to read through all of your .show file and parse the data again.

That's why I'm not sure it's a good idea to do this at this point in time: https://github.com/ChurchApps/FreeShow/issues/1025
