Copy additional files from source folder to destination #11

Open triplem opened 11 years ago

triplem commented 11 years ago

Some additional files are in my source folders (e.g logs, additional informations), these should be copied to the destination folder as well

I can think of a couple of problems here:

the file does exist already in the destination folder and should not be over written (e.g. m3u file)
the file is not up to date anymore (e.g. Cue file, because of renamed files)

This issue was brought up on the discogs forums already.

I guess, that we should create the m3u by ourselfs, since the file names could change. The cue file has pretty much the same problem, and most probably we are not able to reproduce this one. I will dig into this and report back.

I am going to implement this in a slightly adopted manor. I will copy (on config option) all files, which are not in the target directory already. Furthermore I will add a possibility to configure, what files are copied by file-name. This should be it. The cue file could be copied, but the User will be hinted that this file is not correct anymore (since the filenames of the audio files could have changed).

What do you think?

This is implemented during the adoption for version2.
