Hi all,

I just notice that wasn't to copy my Virtual Folder as I once did.
I normally copy my music and my Virtual Folder directories to my extrual drive for my backup laptop.
However, now I can't find where these VDJ Folder is being held. I looked in all the Virtual directory but wasn't able to find where these have now being stored.
For my job tonight I just copied the client song list and save it as a playlist. But having the VDJ Folders is great and easier way for me to make sure to be ready if I need to use my backup Laptop.

Can someone please tell me have happen to this feature?
I'm using Virtual Version 7.47 with I update my version about 6 months but just notice today that my VDJ Folders where being copied over.

Any and all help is welcome.
I'm ok for my gig tonight but going forward I would like to be able to again have my VDJ Folders working right.

As always, Thanks

In VirtualDj 7 the Virtual Folders were part of the database (VirtualDj 6 database.xml) file itself.
In VirtualDj 8 Virtual Folders are now separate files that you can move/copy/edit as you wish.

Hi old psdj friend,

Here is my question again which I hope I can me a little more clearer then my first post.

Within my laptop's directory under User/Jesse/Documents/VirtualDJ

There are folders with keep all the items with runs and support my 7.47 version of VirtualDj

In the past all I needed to do for my backup laptop was to copy to my external harddrive:
--- Update my music
--- Update VirturalDJ directory.

Within the VirturalDj there is a folder called FOLDERS. This folder there are files called .vdjfolder (which I think stands for VirtualDJ Folder)
The created virtual folders would show up when I connected my external hard drive in my backup laptop with the same Virtual Folders I have on my main laptop.

However, last week I notice that these files were not being created on my Main laptop. I have some old folders I created last year but no new ones.

I use this feature for keeping a list of my client's request. This really helps because it save me time looking up songs at the event because I create a client virtual folder for that event.

So, the only change is that in my new main laptop I elected to also install V8. I did notice that is also uses the same folder to store V8 files.

Lastly, my question is, How can I get my virtual folders to work again. Do I need to uninstall V8 in order for this feature to work once again?

Thanks again buddy for you help and support with VirtualDj
(With I totally Love and which make My work easier.)

The "FOLDERS" directory is used only by VirtualDj 8, not by VirtualDj 7.
Therefore the contents of this folder are presented ONLY on VirtualDj 8.
Also VirtualDj 8 will read VirtualDj 7 database and will create the necessary files for VirtualDj 8 only if there are not any VirtualDj 8 related files on your system, or V8 database is at least 6 months older than V7 one.
So, in your case you run VirtualDj 8 at some point, it read VirtualDj 7 database and created the files it needed. From that point on, VirtualDj 7 and VirtualDj 8 are using different databases and different files. That's why you don't see new Virtual Folder that you created on VirtualDj 7 listed on the "FOLDERS" directory.

As I said above, the Virtual Folders in VirtualDj 7 are kept on the database file itself.
For VirtualDj 7 the database file is: User/Jesse/Documents/VirtualDJ/VirtualDj v6 database.xml
Also on external drives the database is: F:/VirtualDj v6 Local database.xml

These 2 files contain all browser related information on VirtualDj 7: They contain favorite folders, filter folders and virtual folders.

Since you are still using VirtualDj 7 you need to ensure that besides your music files you also update/sync the above 2 files.
If Virtual Folders are not showing up in general (in other words you don't see ANY Virtual Folder) then check your options since in VirtualDj 7 it was possible to hide some type of folders from being visible.

ok PhantomDeejay,

I found my problem.
After installing V8 I got a little confused and forgot what I have always done before.

It was easy and simple.
Like you stated, I changed the name on external hard drive file to E:/VirtualDj v6 Local database.xml
I also deleted VirtualDj v6 database.xml from all locations I had tried to place it on both the back laptop and external drive...

I have whiten down my simple steps to follow when using my external hard drive.

--- 1. Update my music files
--- 2. Copy current VirtualDj v6 database.xml from my main laptop location to the root of the hard drive
--- 3. Change the name by adding the LOCAL (as seen above)

Thanks for your help as always.

CadDog Out...
Always a happy Virtual DJ user and promoter...!!!

:)

Help me with this please... I created a Virtual DJ folder for an upcoming event. I placed all the song requests in there and renamed it to the date of the event. I closed VDJ 8 and opened it again a day later and I cannot located the folder. Where is it stored?

... found it. it was created inside another folder. Is there a search function in the browser?
