merging kma files

[rmryanjr]

I looked at the exsisting threads and couldn't find anything that specificallly addresses my problem..

First, I'm using an external HD and both folders reside on the same external HD.
The exsisting folder works well (we'll call this folder "a") When I try to merge folder "b" I open the tools/merge files. Then I select the folder I want to merge (folder "b" to bring into my exsisting dbfor use) . I then select the " merge into songs database" button.
Hoster then either stops imediately or at a specific point an shuts down hoster. I have to completely reopen hoster and nothing was merged at all.
I treid a few different senerios but nothing worked.
Does anyone have any sugestions?

You have to list both folders in the Merge or move the files in B to A then run Merge on A.Hoster doesn't actually move the files, but only adds the location to the database.

I understand that...I did have both listed and thats when the program would fail.

Vista or XP?
Are you completely up to date on your Microsoft updates? There are service pack updates for both .Net Framework 2 and 3 that just came out Tuesday. They don't show on the Auto Update list either.

yes i'm uptodate with all windows updates (xp home as of 02/12/2008)...I just updated my ver of hoster and it still gives me an error message and shuts down.

Also, it stops at file 282 of 44599. Could the problem be on file 282 in the songs database log?

i think if your moving a file from a drive to onother drive it will do that, if that file your moving is already in it, but i think if your merging your songs it wasnt supposed to stop, once its done merging it will show an error..
