Hi,

I need to write some maintenance code that will rename files in a specific folder.

Code:

foreach (IGalleryObject audioFile in audioAlbum.GetChildGalleryObjects())
{
  audioFile.Title = String.Format("audio_30_1_{0}", counter++);
  GalleryObjectController.SaveGalleryObject(audioFile);
}


This code throws an exception
Quote:
This gallery object (ID 36, GalleryServerPro.Business.Audio) is not updateable.


How can resolve this?

Thanks

OK. I've managed to resolve the error by adding audioFile.IsWriteable = true but it didnt serve my purpose. My code just renames the Title but it doesnt rename the physical file on disk.

Code:
foreach (IGalleryObject audioFile in audioAlbum.GetChildGalleryObjects())
{
  audioFile.Title = String.Format("audio_30_1_{0}", counter++);
  audioFile.IsWriteable = true; // UPDATE
  GalleryObjectController.SaveGalleryObject(audioFile);
}


Thanks

GSP does not support renaming the files. The closest you can get is to rename the files using the .NET File API and then re-sync the containing album. But this results in the deletion and inserting of a new media object, meaning you will lose info like the caption and ordering. Maybe that is acceptable...
