I know it's not on my Macs and I've had MC for Mac since version 20. I suspect you created this somehow, but I can't be sure. I used Go > Go To Folder menu item to get to the Library folder. You must enable access to it, or directly go to it using Finder's Go > Go To Folder menu item. Quote from: blgentry on August 08, 2019, 09:07:54 am As I mentioned before, /Library is HIDDEN. That's less work, though it will not consolidate them all under one directory tree. You can leave your main library right where it is if you want, and just create your sandbox library in a different location. Documents/JRiver/Libraries/Joes Library/Įach one has their own outer folder so they are not mixed or overlapping. That's how my main MC for Mac machine works: I cloned the main library into a new folder in my new master location for all libraries: You would create new libraries there and move your existing library there also. You might want to establish a new master location for all of your libraries. Because each MC Library folder has it's own subdirectories. If you try to put one library in a subdirectory of another library, you are effectively mixing them together a bit. You need to create new MC Libraries in empty directories. I hope I have helped to clear this up, but I would understand if you have more questions now. The overlapping words don't make it any easier. This topic, as I have mentioned, gets a bit confusing. MC would then create fresh JMD files and dump them in there to hold your Sandbox library. In your case the library directory name would probably be "sandbox" and you would create it fresh, with nothing it in, just before telling MC that you wanted a new library there. I have chosen to put my MC Libraries into: You can put the database files (JMDs) for this Library in any EMPTY directory that you want. Your proposed "sandbox" library is a good example. However, as you have pointed out, you can create more than one MC Library. These hold all the metadata about your default MC collection. That last one, the JRiver Library (database) is where the JMD files are. On Mac, JRiver has chosen to put this MC specific database (which it calls a Library) in a subdirectory of the user's Library directory: /Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 25/Library/ As if that's not confusing enough, MC calls it's database a "Library". This is kind of a "master" or "default" Library directory.ģ. There's also a Library directory on almost every Mac at /Library, which is NOT in any users' home directory. On a Mac, the Library directory, which is located in each user's home directory, is a place to store "special" files. That cache directory and the contents you list are in my MC Library directory. You seem to have found the MC Library directory, but it's not in the right place.
