Fakebook Indexes for CSV import
#4
Great post. I was considering to open a thread myself or to revive the old discussion in

http://zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/forum/...p?tid=1936 with aspiers index project. So thanks for being quicker.

I suggest we could use this thread for questions, suggestions etc. as well.

Mike,

what happens if a song/pdf is already imported and is now newly imported with a cvs?

For instance I already have the Firehouse Fake Book in MS and now I import it again for the single titles with itsme's cvs?

Is it possible to update already imported songs/single titles with an updated cvs and running the import again?
Will the old metadata be overwritten completely or is there (or will be) an option to update only empty fields? For instance when you added new metadata for composers in the cvs but the rest stays the same?

What happens if you happen to have double entries in multiple field names (for instance for composers and lyricist). Is there a conflict or does MS simple allow only one entry?

And once back to the delimiter question. I'm not sure if semicolons were actually the "preferered" delimiters for columns in our discussion. There was consent they are preferable to commas.

I've already written why I prefer tabs as column delimiters and semicolons for multiple items. Ultimately it's your choice which is most practicable to use and program. But I think one big concern should be, that one should be able to save a csv or text directly from Excel without the need to edit it again.

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I don't see an option in Excel to save a semicolon delimited file (a tabbed one though).
