I posted about this some months ago and got a very helpful reponse about how to solve it. Simply, I would like to have several directories, one directory tree and one database search appear by default and remove the add/remove buttons so DJs can’t alter this themselves. However, I am failing on the first step with
[DefaultDirectories]
AddDirectoryBrowser=S:\
in my mAirList.ini, it does nothing at all and the box appears empty. Any thoughts or ideas? I’m running the latest version I installed today (2.2 I believe)
I think you got something wrong. The “DefaultDirectories” settings determine which folder the “Open Playlist” etc. dialogs start in, so that you don’t have to click all your way from My Computer to your favorite folders.
What you are trying to do is to set up a number of browser which should be open when you start mAirList. This can be achieved as follows:
Make sure “Save along with desktop templates” is enabled in mAirListConfig -> GUI -> Browser -> Browser Options
Run mAirList and start with an empty desktop (playlist and cartwall)
Open all the browsers you would like to be opened at startup
Save the desktop as “standard.mlt” (mind the extension, it’s a template) inside your mAirList folder where mAirList.exe is located.
Thanks - all worked fine and had no problems The only other unrelated question - how does one remove the buttons for the toolbars, both from the top and from the cartwall. I think locking the interface down so there are no options is the best thing to do!
The cartwall load buttons are disabled in the config tool, look through in the options in Cartwall as I cannot remember them of hand but there is definitely the option to hide the buttons.
