DOM Playlist Editor can't access File Menu to Select Playlist Folder

Post by tom.dineen »

I was looking into the DOM PLaylist Editor app to try making CPLs for my festival's short film programs and when I opened the most recent stable and test version of the Playlist Editor, I am not able to access the File menu (it highlights but no dropdown appears) or see any other Preferences under the other menu options. I am on an M1 MacBook Pro Max 16" with Ventura 13.1. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you!

I will look at the bug but I'm not sure the playlist editor is what you need - that is just for making playlists for a slightly obscure DCP-o-matic feature where the player can be used for cinema presentation.

Ah, good to know. I was thinking of doing just that. I have a Festival Opening next Friday, and the opening night screening is in a venue that does not have a DCP-based system, so I was considering using DOM Player to playback the films off my MBP M1 Max.

Not a critical thing needed for my use case, but I thought I would report the strange behavior.

In that case it makes sense! :D

Give it a good test before you really need it - some of this code is not very widely used.

Hi again, the file menu only has "Quit" on it, which I guess is why it doesn't show anything on macOS. The playlist folder can be set in preferences, which I guess is inaccessible at the moment - I'll fix that.

Hopefully this build should work better if you want to give it a try.
