Hi Djay,
I have been using Djay with a mac for several years but it recently died, so I switched to Windows.
I was organizing my library by using symbolic links, so my playlists are compatible with all the softwares that I use (for example, they are avaible both on Serato and Djay).
It seems that symbolic linked songs are not recognized by Djay on Windows. It’s working well on mac and with Serato on Windows (so I guess it’s feasible ?).
Would it be possible to support symbolic links ?
I know that it’s unlikely to happen because it’s a corner case for maybe 2 users in the world, but just in case it’s “quick”, that would save my library.
Best
Hi @Kyrillos_L, thanks for the suggestion! Interesting idea. I have forwarded this to the dev team for consideration.
Hi again @Kyrillos_L, how exactly are you creating the symbolic links on Windows?
Hi Slack_Jaw,
Thanks for your answer,
I tried with a Python script that manages my playlists by using os.symlink(src, dst)
It appears that this method creates soft-links, which don’t seem to be supported by Djay.
I just tried this program linkshellextension with a hard-link, and it seems to be working with DJay!
So I guess I just need to update my python script to work with hard-links!
I apologize for the PEBCAK, I’ll update the title with soft-link and I guess that we can resolve this ticket as I can work with hard-links.
Best,
Cyril
(Edit: I don’t how to update the title ahah)
You’re welcome @Kyrillos_L. Thanks for the follow up. Glad we got it sorted out for you.
