Feature: option to export a song list to csv

[MairusuPawa]

Hello,

Since USDX already scans folders for songs it can use, maybe it could generate a list of those in an relatively easy-to-use format (such as CSV containing song titles / artists) for other purposes? It's possible to extract that data from the db itself, but not straightforward for end-users.

One use case would be checking the available songs directly in a spreadsheet (filtering, ordering, comparing what's supposedly available when a full song pack is installed to what's actually seen on the user's computer in the end to detect missing files, etc); another use case could be printing out song lists easily right before parties.

If I remember correctly, you can already export to csv using the tool UltraStar Manager

Yes, via Extras --> Create Report, you can create song lists in HTML, PDF, TXT and CSV format.

It would be a good feature, but I doubt it's one with a high priority. UltraStar Manager and equivalent are all providing the same functioning if not better. It's not that it's currently impossible.

Following paragraphs show a program I used/created, it shouldn't fulfill the request of such exporting feature for UltraStar. Just wanted to mention it. A temporary solution for anyone with the need of an exported list.

Back in the days, I also had the need of a list to print out the songs for parties. I had to create the program as there wasn't really any other with sufficient features. The generated list from my program was an html page which I also copied into document writing software (like Word or Writer [OpenOffice/Libre]) for further formatting. HTML was the main format I used as you could just upload the file anywhere and anyone could just open the file and see the list digitally (planned; it was the time before the boom of smartphones), recently I also added a filter feature to search for songs. This was in 2008 and I haven't updated the code for the last 7 years. But it still works.

It reads the existing txt files, parses the data, checks if the files are valid and list them as a html table with the specified sorting and selected columns (falsely named "row selecting" in the screenshot).

Example list: downloadable html file (saved/converted with SingleFile extension): MySongs_singlefile.htm

If there's a general interest in that tool, let me know - I consider releasing it. As I haven't updated checked the code recently, I would likely have to check for licensing problem (although only open source Javascript libs are used) and if I am really in a mood, I would refactor a lot or even rewrite the program. Not sure how fast I could provide such tool as I am kinda busy.

As RattleSN4K3 said, UltraStar-Manager already offers song list export. It obviously does a lot more stuff as well, but if you just need a quick way to get a song list (as PDF, HTML or CSV), just use UltraStar-Manager, go to "Extras" click on "Create Report" (or use the F8 key) and select what information should be included in the report.

Thank you @pb-programmer I had misread, it's perfect it's exactly what I needed
