[Desktop] Restore Option to Edit Local File Information

Spotify has taken away users' ability to easily edit information on any local files (right click local file - edit info), such as adding an artist, album, or editing the title (yes, this comes in useful).
I've added a screenshot of 2 local songs: the top one had information edited before the update, while the bottom one was just added and I can't add any missing information or change the bizarre title, thanks to Spotify's new update.
Not only is editing information useful for clarity, but it is also key for linking local tracks to Spotify's catalogue.
If this is affecting you or my unsightly song title bothers you, please give this post kudos! Every little bit helps. Thank you!

by Meredith Monday - last edited Monday Options Status changed to: Not right now
Hey everyone, thanks for you continued feedback around the latest Desktop update. We are marking this ideas as 'Not Right Now' since your local files in the Desktop app should just mirror whatever is on your HDD. If you change/ delete something on your HDD it will be mirrored in Spotify. You can of course continue to leave comments and kudos here, thanks!
--------> REALLY? Not right now? Here's another prime example of Spotify not giving a darn about their customers. This IDEA page is about things we absolutely NEED and hate about the new update you released (which, lets face it, is a fail in almost all ways). Then you as a Spotify employee come on here and tell us that its not what we need or want, and tell us what this feature should in fact do. Well then, who needs customer satisfaction, right?

[Desktop] Delete (obsolete) tracks in Local Files

Since the ability to modify local file information was unhelpfully removed, I modified some names of the files themselves and re-synced them. The problem now is the old versions still appear in Local Files as well, just greyed out, and there is no option to delete them, so I have two entries for the same track. This could get very messy very quickly if I want to modify further, I will end up with multiple versions of everything I add in the Local Files list making it very difficult to find the tracks I want.

I used to have a huge library of music on my computer. I have recently moved it to an external hard drive due to the fact that Spotify has most of the music I like, and I can find the others on Youtube or Google Play. I now have a huge local library of songs that aren't on the computer but are tied to Spotify's local library, and Spotify defaults to playing the local files when they are available.(Even when they are selected from an artist's page) This means that when I try to play a record that was tied to that name in Spotify, nothing happens, no music. Mine are gone and now I can't listen to my favorite music that i removed specifically because it was avalible on Spotify(and other sources). Please Fix This Now!

DW8 grabs remote file when I try to edit local file

DW8 acts like it was programmed this way, but it is not
correct behavior. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this for
me.
I have the local website on a mapped network drive to a
different server, and the remote (live) site is on another server
only accessible via FTP. When I have the Files View drop-down set
to Local View and the [Connects to remote host] button is NOT
depressed, I should be able to double-click an .htm file and have
it open up for editing. So, I do that and it then asks if I want to
Get Dependent Files. I always say NO to this question. When the
file opens, for some reason it has grabbed the REMOTE version from
the live server (via FTP, I assume) without telling me it is doing
that, and it has overwritten the local copy of the file. This is
bad because other people in the office use different web editors,
and they did work on that file prior to me trashing it....rats!!!
WHY is DW8 grabbing the remote file for editing when I don't
want it to? I want to edit the dang LOCAL file like I expect!! What
am I doing wrong? Or is DW8 doing it wrong, and everyone in the
world just expects it to be that way? How can I edit ONLY the local
version of a file that exists on the remote server? I found that if
the file is NOT on the remote server, then it simply opens the
local file for editing as usual. I do not remember MX2004 acting
this way because I never had that problem prior to my DW8 upgrade.
Perhaps a clue is the dialog box that pops up asking if I
want to "get dependent files"...the word GET is suspicious to
me....
HELP!!!! TIA!

CI/CO uses the remote site as the resource for files, not the
local site.
The scheme is -
1. You check out from the remote site
2. You edit and save intermediate steps locally
3. When editing is finished, you check in to the remote site
This way, nobody can GET a file that you have already checked
out until you
check it back in.
When you double click a local file in the File manager, if
that file is NOT
checked out to you, it will be checked out to you FROM THE
REMOTE site. If
it is checked out to you, it will open from your local site.
> That action
> doesn't make sense.
Unfortunately, it makes complete sense.

Check in Later option in edit locally

Hi,
We are in EP NW04s SP10.
When i tried to Edit locally the documents in the KM repository , I am not getting the Check in Later option. I can see only Check In and Cancel Check out button.
And in the Recent Notification iview , I am not getting the Checked out Documents link.
I referred to the thread https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?messageID=872640.
But the property service is running in the Repository Manager.
Can anyone help to get the check in later option and the link in Recent notification iview.
Thanks & Regards,
Siva

Hi Siva,
Please double-check the prerequisites at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/3b/cbf52dde472343a5b8941dd43cc479/frameset.htm - for example, that you are not in "Personal Documents". Also keep in mind that you might need to restart the server if you have switched on the application properties service at runtime.
If all this doesn't help, open an OSS message.
Hope it helps

No option to edit access files in sharepoint.

The access files only gives ‘open’ option & once the file is opened the changes are saved in the copy downloaded in the PC not on the one in the portal?

Hi Rizzk,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you cannot save changes to Access files in SharePoint.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and the changes can be saved back after I clicked Save button in Access.
I recommend to click Design With Access button or click each Access files and select Modify to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks

Can you explain it in little detail.
My objective is to save a soap file & edit the changes in sharepoint it self. I have saved this file in a document library

[Desktop] Bring Back Local File Info Editing and Dates Added!

I would like to see the functionality for changing the track info for local files and the sorting of when the local file was added to come back. I used these functions a lot because I have a large amount of music saved on my computer, and I add more often. I liked the ability to change the track's info to make it easier to search for and more organized. The date added function was also essential for organizing my local files because I would have to search through thousands of files just to find the file that I just added. Since these functions were on an older version of Spotify, I don't understand why they would be omitted in the newer versions. Also, fixing the bugs that prevent local files to be synced to my phone for offline playing would be helpful as well.

Updated: 2015-07-09Hi and thanks for your contribution! A similar idea has also been suggested here:

Edit locally throws NullPointerException

Hi All,
While doing EditLocally in a Custom Repository Manager,it throws a null pointer Exception.
As per the Repository Manager Implementation
log ,we dont any exception. So as there is no such relevent error realted to repository manager in default.trc file.
RF doesnt pass call to setContent() method of ContentManager.
We failed to do so in Nw04 SPS11 and Nw04 SPS14.
Where as we can able to edit successfully in NW04 SPS09.

How to prevent DW CS3 editing remote files?

I have a site which I built with an earlier DW3.
I have migrated the site to DW CS3 and chosen 'edit local
files then upload' as the option
However, when I try to open a local file for editing, DWCS3
appears to insist on 'getting' the remote file and requires me to
dialogue and answer"Do you wish to overwrite local files" and Do
you wish to get dependant files"
This suggests that despite my choice in the setup, DWCS3 is
deciding to offer the remote files for editing.
Am I missing something I should do?
Thanks.

> I have the first option checked.
I wouldn't use that option, nor would I suggest anyone else
use it UNLESS
you are supremely confident in your ability to not make
mistakes.
Otherwise, it's a train wreck waiting to happen.
> Yes...I DO have check in and check out enabled in the
Sharing Files, Part
> 2
> box.
Which is why you are being prompted to overwrite your local
copy. Are you
the only one working on that site? If so, you do not need, or
even want the
CI/CO option.

Wrong metadata shown for some local files

As shown in the first attachment, I have some mp3s for a japanese artist, and one of the tracks spotify wrongly associates it with a completely different track. the title of the track isn't even the same (it is "Please Please", all other details are the same as the surrounding tracks). This I could put up with no problem as it still plays the mp3, the annoying thing for me is that it scrobbles the wrong track to last.fm when i listen to it. The 2nd attachment shows another smaller issue, as they actually match to the correct tracks (even though the spotify linked ones are singles rather than the album) but also provides the same scrobbiling issue since the artist and album names are in english rather than japanese like I have in the id3 tags. An advanced option to prefer local file metadata over spotify metadata would be king here!

Some files when imported into the timeline were shown shorter, because the frame rate that was deduced from the file was way too high. The fix targets this scenario.In fact, there could be cases where the frame rate displayed could be as absurd as 500 fps from a mobile phone camera which is not capable of capturing at that high rate.
So if someone has reported such issues, they could benefit from this. The fix is for both Windows and MAC

I had to re-install XP on my laptop. I installed itunes. Now I want to restore my music from backup CD's. But the option device under file is greyed out. I can't select restore from backup. How do I make the restore option active. I have an ipod nano

I had to re-install XP on my laptop. I then installed itunes again. Now I want to restore my music from backup CD's. But the option device under file is greyed out. I can't select restore from backup. How do I make the restore option active? i have an IPOD nano.

I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

Hi all,
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017) RTM
Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
Issue details:
When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As. The
same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu.
Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
To date we’ve tested the following
Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
Any help with this appreciated.

Hi Dan,
For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode.
The same issue was present for Visio files.
Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case. If checkout is not required the document
menu can also be used as expected.

I see a 40 second delay each time I click in the Local Files pane after working in the Edit pane.

I'm running Dreamweaver CS4. I have a PHP file that's about 12,000 lines and each time I want to upload changes to the server, I stop editing in the Edit pane and click in the Local Files pane, at right, so I can select the file I've been working on the then do a synchronize. But it takes about 40 seconds, while a spinner goes around, before focus is transferred to the Local Files pane and I can select my file and synchronize. It's as if Dreamweaver wants to do spell check or some kind of format check on all 12,000 lines before it lets me go to the Local Files pane.
If I do a CTRL-SHIFT + U to upload I still see the same 40 second delay before the upload starts.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Thanks

Just for interest sake, what is the size of the file that has 12,000 lines of code? Have you tried asking in some php forums or newsgroup if this file can be stream-lined to make it smaller and/or efficient?
I don't know why DW goes to sleep for 40 seconds but you might want to clear the DW preference file to see if that makes any difference. D W Powers wrote a tutorial on how to do this but I can't find his page. Alternatively, you can try this link:

Good luck.
