ExportPLS layout

I was wondering if it’s possible to customize the layout of the ExportPLS.pdf.
For example, I would like to replace the column “Type” with “Library Name”, or possibly modify the overall column structure and labels in the exported PDF.

Is there any way to do this through configuration or a script, or would it require a custom template?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Can you explain which export function you mean?
Are you talkig about the Print -> Export To... -> PDF function?

I’m referring to the file that’s generated by the automatic playlist generation.

You can edit your own Program Playlist Report using the "Program Playlist Export" in the Program Scheduler.

The report used during the automatic playlist generation is stored in a file called "Program Playlist Report.snx" stored within your ProppFrexx installation folder. If you want to modify it:
a) make a backup copy beforehand
b) allow write access to this file/folder (by default Windows prevents this)

You can invoke the Designer as explained above - then select/open the "Program Playlist Report":

You can see all available fields on the right side of the designer. There are for example a playlist entry the following fields:

Code: Select all

Filename
Trackname
Title
Artist
Album
Genre
Year
Grouping
Mood
TrackStartIndicator
TrackEndIndicator 
TempoStart
TempoEnd
EntryType
ModeratorText
Duration
EffectiveDuration 
EffectivePlaytime 
RampTime
OutroTime
Note, that LibraryName is not available here - as a generated playlist doesn't contain that information anymore (as it is irrelevant to it). So this column is impossible to include.

You can use the general Print -> Export To -> PDF function, which prints a playlist in the format of the currently opened playlist - which might include the SourceInfo column.
