Global History

What might be incorrectly checked?
In Global History, the full list of VT, Jingles, and MUSIC appears. Even though it is set to only track MUSIC. GLOBAL HISTORY only executes this way for pre-made lists for VT. What should we change to ensure that GLOBAL HISTORY also only stores MUSIC for pre-made lists? Currently, it is set to repeat artists after 60 tracks. But when VT and JINGLES are added, those 60 tracks are reached too quickly. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Are you talking about manually added tracks?
The Exclude Option is today basically only used when checking the history.

Note, that in each script-line you have a separate option to check and/or add tracks to the history - see the script-line Options:
- SuppressHistoryCheck
- SuppressAddHistory
So for all irrelevant script-lines you might set the later option.

However, this of course doesn't apply for VoiceTracking, where tracks are added manually, you might set the option to 'Never' add them to the global history - see the "More..." options.

However, I might also add a new option to the next version to always force to apply the 'Exclude' filter also for adding tracks to the global history.

A new v4.5.2.12 is available which add a new "Force Exclude Filter with Adding" option to the More... option dialog.
If option forces the exclude filter also when adding tracks to the global history.

And so checking the new button will fix this?
So, to summarize briefly.
We have proppfrexx continuously creating playlists throughout the day; we do not work with pre-made playlists.

When someone wants to record voice tracks, that person creates a playlist.
However, we notice that everything appears in GLOBAL HISTORY, including JINGLES, VT, and MUSIC.
GLOBAL HISTORY is set to 60, which means this number is reached quickly.
When PF simply rotates, i.e., without a pre-made playlist, the global history only keeps track of MUSIC, as configured.
But this should be fixed with the update, right?
Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Yes, as said - it should fix it.

You say, that the issue only appears, when someone manually creates a playlist (when voice tracking is performed).
See the other option the the ‚More…‘ dialog. - eg. you can also set the option to ‚Never‘ add manually added tracks to the global history.
