Tag Editor V4.0 - Other - Scripting Restrictions

Post by inl_inc »

About to start using this great new feature ... but have a few questions:

1. Do I need to enable any settings in ProppFrexx V4.0 to use the new Scripting Restrictions feature, or will the restrictions be picked up right away?

2. If tracks are loaded as part of a playlist (and Scripting Restrictions = true for those tracks) ... will they still be played as part of the playlist, and just not get picked up by Random script line of other scripts? To give some context: I want to add tracks to the library as part of a weekly voicetracked show (loaded by the script as a playlist). However, I want to prevent other regular scripts from randomly picking those same tracks during that show's weekly run. After the first week the tracks should become available for other scripts to select randomly.

1) The restrictions will automatically be picked. No extra options to set.

2) The Scripting Restrictions are 'ONLY' evaluated with the following script-line mode:
- Sequential
- Random
- LeastTimesPlayed
- LeastRecentlyPlayed
- Cartwall
Wtih all other script-line mode the restrictions are NOT checked. As such, if you use a pre-prepared playlist and load it via the 'LoadPlaylist' mode, the restrictions are of course not validated (as otherwise the playlist would bet broken).
While a regular 'Random' script-line mode would check the restriction.
