Topic: A button that tells the browser to display the contents of two different folders at the same time?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Does anyone know how I could script a button that tells the browser to display the contents of two diffrent folders? As I understand it, virtual folders can do this, but cannot be referenced to directly in vdjscript.

You mean you want the content of 2 different folders to be displayed merged in the Songs List ??
You can do that by creating a Filter Folder, but as far as i know, it cant be a dynamic script.

Yep, I meant merged.

That's what I thought. Oh well, I'll have to find another way then to join my mp3s with my mp4s of each show without duplicating.

Filterfolders cannot be references absolutely and directly in vdjscript, so they're no use to me, I'm afraid...
:(

As always, thank you DJDAD for your wisdom!

You can still use ..
browser_gotofolder "FilterFolderName or FavoriteFOlderName"
or even
browser_gotofolder "FilterFoldername\NestedFoldername"

but if you mean that you cant use vdj script actions for the Criteria in Filter Folders, yes thats true.

Wait a minute... I think my info is outdated!

So it IS possible to make a button to show a filterfolder in the browser?!

If I wanted to show, for example, the contents of the folders "mp3" and "mp4" merged in the browser, what would the filter folder and vdjscript syntax be?

FILTERFOLDER NAME: MP3MP4
FILTER: filepath=c:\mp3 & filepath=c:\mp4

BUTTON: browser_gotofolder "MP3MP4"

Is that correct?

Filter : file type is mp4 or file type is mp3
offers all mp3 and mp4 files of your library


or
filter : file path starts with "C:\..\..\..\mp3\" or file path starts with "C:\..\..\..\mp4\"
in case you want to merge the content of C:\..\..\..\mp3\ and C:\..\..\..\mp4\ folders

action to go to that folder is the one you wrote
