Usage of the database tool

<< < (3/3)

dip:
Thanks a lot, I will try it.

Is there a more comprehensive documenentation explaining the command line parameters? I don't understand the meaning of the "commit" and the "append" parameter (compared to update).

And if you have specified the Rockbox root-path do you additionally have to specify the rockbox-directory and the song-directory parameter?

About -m(--mode):

create: Build database newly.

update: The file not registered in the database is added to the database. And the deleted file is deleted from the database.
 
commit: The database_tmp.tcd file is changed into database_0.tcd, ..., database_8.tcd, and database_idx.tcd files.

append: The file not registered in the database is added to the database.  But the deleted file is not deleted from the database.


>And if you have specified the Rockbox root-path do you additionally have to specify the rockbox-directory and the song-directory parameter?

e.g.
the player connects H:\\
Rockbox firmware storage directory: H:\\.rockbox
music storage directory H:\\music

Then
songdb -r H: -d .rockbox -s /music -m create


Please look at readme.txt about other options.

Horscht:
right, I should have included your readme in the first place, that was rude, sorry.

I'll update the file to include it.

EDIT: songdb.zip now also includes the readme, for completeness sake (also credits)
