Hi,

 

I am a beginner when it comes to the song manager. My question is: Is there a simple way of separating the CDLC from the official ones, without manually clicking on every single track or file?

 

A very brief tutorial on how to do this would be very helpful.

 

I am sorry if this question has been asked before. If so, please close this topic.

 

Thanks

@@Weezer well i can't help you with the song manager because i don't use it tho. But i rename the cdlc's in my rocksmith dlc folder and ingame i mark my original dlc's as my favorites. Works pretty well tho [emoji4]

@Weezer 

It's a manual process (initially).   Have you renamed any CDLC or offical DLC?  If you haven't then you can do a Windows "View" "Details" folder and sort songs by "Name".  You should be able to tell the songs apart because official DLC file names will typically be much shorter than CDLC file names.  Then it is a matter of creating a "cdlc" subfolder within the "dlc" folder.  Drag all your CDLC to the "cdlc" subfolder.

 

Once you are done you can use CFM like usual to find any song you want.

 

EDIT: one thing you can do with CFM is to use the Renamer tool and add "_rs2" to the file name for official dlc.  Then it is easy to search for songs containing "_rs2" in CFM.

 

Edit: See suggestion below.

Thanks for your reply.

 

Since I already sorted all the songs into band-specific folders that mix custom and official dlc, I hoped for an easy way to separate them. So I could just switch between custom made dlc and official dlc with one click. 

 

So I guess I have to do it manually, then. Just need to figure out how the songlists in the CFM work :D

@Weezer  Don't know why I didn't think of trying this first.  In CFM go to Setting tab and checkbox for "colToolkitVersion" (you may have to scroll down to see it)  Now you will be able to sort on Toolkit Version.  If a song has a version number then it is CDLC if it doesn't it could be DLC or CDLC.  Toolkit writes Toolkit Version since like around December, 2013 (version 2.3.0 or later) so if CDLC was authored after this date it will have a ToolkitVersion that you can sort on this column in CFM.  Then use my renamer trick or some other way to group them.

I put all my cdlc in a sub directory, bu if i want to mass rename my cdlc the up to date version is renaming official ones as well...

So i suggest songmanager should aloud us to change it(s dlc directory.

If you don't want to rename official DLC then first sort your songs by column Toolkit Version.  Official DLC will not have a toolkit version.  Then check box "Select" of only those CDLC songs that you want to rename.  (You may find it faster to use "Select All" and then individually deselect your official DLC songs). Then switch to Renamer and be sure you check the box "Rename only the songs that are selected in Song Manager".  Now rename your CDLC songs.  Official DLC will not be renamed.

 

The column Toolkit Version will be made filterable in future release of CFSM so that it will be easier to use "Select All" on only CDLC songs.  Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for your reply. 

Since i have a lot of official DLC, the filter+select all is the way to go for me.

 

By the way, great app.

Just implemented the new filter for "Empty" and "Not Empty".  Watch for version 1.1.0.1 of CFSM or later to be released.  You will be able to filter on column "Toolkit Version" for "Empty" and quickly find all official DLC.  Conversely you will be able to filter on column "Toolkit Version" for "Not Empty" and quickly find all CDLC.

Also the in the beta version you can use the tagged column, "True", "False" and "ODLC". Also, I'm not sure if I have it implemented in the latest beta, but ODLC now has a bold font. If it's not in the current beta, I'll publish a new beta out this weekend.

 

New beta has been released.
