Could not open the file

real Newbie Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: Mar 14, 2010 If I drag'n drop a folder from my CIFS share to the ID3 Editor I always get an Error "Could not open the file" with an explanation: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 UserInfo=0x155b20 "The file "XYZ" couldn't be opened." After that message I'm able to edit the common tags of the files inside that folder and update them without any problems. Regards René Edit: Same if I try to drag'n drop a folder from my desktop to the ID3 Editor. Posted Mar 14, 2010, 6:15 am Last edited Mar 14, 2010, 6:39 am by real

You should use File > Open Group to select mulitple files to edit all at once, or you can drag and drop multiple files, which will open an editor for each file, which will have to be edited one at a time.

jamesrae Member Group: Moderators Posts: 63 Joined: Dec 13, 2008 You are correct, this question should have been answered. The CIFS error is more than likely a sync issue between Finder and CIFS and would not be produced if the menu options are used. I would also check that the built-in firewall is not causing the communication issue. With regards to dropping a folder, this will open the group editor if the folder contains the tracks and they are not in a folder in the folder you are dropping. .........................

I realized after I answered this, that I had been attempting to move multiple FILES, not entire folders, into the editor, which does not open them as a group. I do get the same results as the OP though, when dropping a folder. Same error, but seems to open all the appropriate files anyway, and edits them just fine. Sounds like a simple error handler would get rid of the unnecessary message? Posted Mar 25, 2011, 2:05 pm
