Add FILE line to Cuefile to include file path for each track by presentformyfriends · Pull Request #13365 · mixxxdj/mixxx

presentformyfriends · 2024-06-13T03:04:10Z

This PR adds a FILE line to the Cuefile to show a filepath for each track (see issue for more information).

acolombier

Thanks for the contribution, as @fwcd suggested, it would be great to make that an option. To do so, you could add a boolean to EngineRecord (like m_bCueUsesFileAnnotation), and initialise it in the EngineRecord::updateFromPreferences, using m_pConfig->getValue().
You can use Qt Designer to edit src/preferences/dialog/dlgprefrecorddlg.ui and add the logic in src/preferences/dialog/dlgprefrecord.cpp to ahndle the preference edition. Happy to do that part if you would like me to.

ronso0 · 2024-06-13T10:42:32Z

Just a word on Qt Designer: that potentially rearranges the .ui files (for no reason) which produces a unreviewable diff.
If that happens please resort to editing the ui file manually in a text editor.

presentformyfriends · 2024-06-13T19:27:41Z

@ronso0 Thanks for the tip, I will pay attention to the .ui files order and will edit manually if need be

@acolombier Quick question, I just read in the Developer Guidelines to prefer merging over rebasing as rebasing apparently causes problems. I did not know this, and can't remember if I rebased or not. Is there a way for me to check if I rebased? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks!

@presentformyfriends Merging is preferred becasue rebasing rewrites the commit history and may detach review comments (which could mean a lot / everything hd to be reviewwd again)

Though, for this minimal PR that's irrelevant IMO.

presentformyfriends · 2024-07-14T23:23:54Z

Pushed the rest, please let me know if it's ok or if I should change anything. FYI: I edited the .ui file with kDevelop, not Qt Designer.

EDIT: Build failed at pre-commit hook, I made some formatting changes and pushed those again.

presentformyfriends · 2024-07-15T17:22:49Z

Can anyone tell me why my commit keeps failing on clang-format? I ran pre-commit locally and everything passes. When I look at the diff it's formatting issues that I've already fixed? 🤷

Swiftb0y · 2024-07-15T18:11:06Z

when I look at the diff it's formatting issues that I've already fixed? 🤷

Are you sure? The lines that clang-format on CI complains about missing linebreaks in enginerecord.cpp:128 for example.

Also keep in mind that pre-commit only looks at the most recent commit, so if you have not run pre-commit since starting the PR, you might need to do a pre-commit run --from-ref upstream/main --to-ref HEAD so it runs on the entire PR.

acolombier

This is looking good, thanks for the PR!
Just some minor comments

acolombier · 2024-07-15T18:25:39Z

                            .toUtf8());

+    if (m_bCueUsesFileAnnotation) {
+        m_cueFile.write(QString("    FILE \"%1\"\n")


I believe you might be able to use a QStringLiteral

For this one, fyi all the m_cueFile.write lines are existing code and use QString, I just added the if statement on line 254. I assumed whoever wrote that code used QString for a reason but idk.

QStringLiteral is a QString :) (doc)

The value of a QStringLiteral is that it will create the QString at compilte time, instead of instantiating at every function calls. This is a macro optimisation.

The TL;DR is: if you use a static string in your QString (like here with " FILE \"%1\"\n"), you can make it a QStringLiteral.
You are correct that the one above could also be using QStringLiteral tho! Feel free to update them.

Thanks for the explanation, I will update mine and the ones above. Just pushed new commit that should take care of this.

m_cueFile.write(QStringLiteral(" FILE \"%1\"\n")

Just pushed new commit that should take care of this. I updated the line you suggested as well as the ones above it. Thanks!

LGTM! Thanks for addressing the feature request.

Nice! Thanks for the guidance and thank you to everyone in here!

It may be that the pipeline complains due to some precommit checks but otherwise, it looks good now.

Hi did this ever get merged? I don't see the functionality in 2.5?

daschuer · 2025-06-16T05:34:58Z

Not yet. This needs a final test.

+                        .toUtf8());


Nit for future PR: convert to use m_cueField.write() directly and avoid temporary string allocations.

Swiftb0y

Haven't done a test, but code LGTM.

Swiftb0y · 2025-06-19T12:36:40Z

whoops. I left a comment but apparently it has gotten lost somehow.

I can confirm I now have a FILE line in the cuesheet per played track. However unlike the top level FILE tag (referencing the recording), there is no indication of the filetype (like WAVE or MP3) after the path. Is this needed or optional @presentformyfriends?

presentformyfriends · 2025-06-25T07:18:37Z

@Swiftb0y Optional. Any idea when this will be merged? It's been blocked for a year and I need this feature.

EDIT: To clarify, I believe the WAVE or MP3 was exclusive to Rekordbox's creation of cuefiles, but I could be wrong.

acolombier · 2025-06-25T07:24:46Z

@daschuer your change request have been addressed now. Could you please provide another review or remove the change request status?

daschuer

I can confirm the review issues are solved.
Edit: Oh I see @Swiftb0y has tested an his finding has been clarified.

daschuer · 2025-06-26T07:39:29Z

Thank you for this PR.

JoergAtGithub · 2025-06-26T17:39:23Z

Merging this PR broke the main branch CI:

Error: D:\a\mixxx\mixxx\src\preferences\dialog\dlgprefrecord.cpp(129): error C2220: the following warning is treated as an error
Warning: D:\a\mixxx\mixxx\src\preferences\dialog\dlgprefrecord.cpp(129): warning C4996: 'QCheckBox::stateChanged': Use checkStateChanged() instead

Last CI run of this PR was 4 months ago.

presentformyfriends · 2025-08-04T20:33:29Z

Hi there, just wondering why the "FILE LINE" functionality is missing in the Mixxx beta 2.6-beta-51-gd58909dcd3 ?

I am testing it now:

Now that this is merged, shouldn't the functionality be present in the beta? Thanks.

Swiftb0y · 2025-08-04T21:05:02Z

Hey there. This has been merged to main after the 2.6 has been cut from it. That means it'll only be available in 2.7-alpha and later.

presentformyfriends · 2025-08-05T04:16:17Z

Oh ok good, thanks for clairfying that for me. Much appreciated.
