Hi VDJ adds a whole bunch of POI points which i don't want to see like the Mix 'Full' Start, Mix 'Tempo' Start etc.
1. I know if I go to POI editor I can remove show all and they disappear in the POI Editor. but I can still see the marker in the waveform display in the deck. How can I remove to not see them when playing my decks? I tried deleting them one by one from the POI editor but it will be ridiculously long to remove one by one in thousands of song files.
2. I want to add my own points and keep a consistency. When I create new I can add a marker and call it voice so I know the voice starts there. Question can I create POI markers to use on other songs so when I create POI points on other songs I can choose a marker called voice instead of retyping it all the time on every song.
Thanks

1 they're automix points they don't effect anything other than automix
if you're really retentive about it, I could regex your database as a favour.
send me a db backup zip in a pm

set_cue 1 & cue_name 1 "voice"

thanks for the reply. Let me think about it. the reason I am a bit retentive is once I put my own flags and the ones that VDJ puts it starts to be a lot of info. With too many you might miss the Cue you need.
You already did some work for me in the past :)
For question 2 ( sorry stupid me) where do I insert (set_cue 1 & cue_name 1 "voice") ?

on the button you'd use to set a cue, likely edit your hotcue padpage, but that's a script in isolation [just setting a cue] for something more practical [if cue exists ? yes, use cue : no, set cue & name] it would be this
there is one possible problem with this, it only saves typing only if hot_cue 1 is your voice cue
if you don't use a convention for specific cue number to specific name
while you can query if a named cue exist
has_cue voice ?
it still needs another condition to decide if the next cue you set will be named voice [there's a couple of ways it could be done]
has_cue 1 ? hot_cue 1 : set_cue 1 & cue_name 1 "voice"

thanks for the reply but a little too much for me :)
Would have been nice in the POI Editor to modify the list of points . Remove what we don't want and when we add a new title and options used could be an available selection everywhere.
Not sure if I am clear ?
example in the default list we have
Mix 'Fade' Start
Mix 'Cut' Start
Mix 'Tempo' Start etc
If I want to shorten that list for items I don't care about like Mix 'Tempo' Start I could remove in that list in the POI editor and not show in any song. And if I want to use a cue point like Voice, once I add as new it will be available in all tracks.
going back to question 1 I had this from you. How can I modify to delete all flags and virtual dj points with:
Mix 'Fade' Start
Mix 'Cut' Start
Mix 'Tempo' Start etc
search mode click regular expression (bottom left)
searching for
Pos="(\d+\.\d+)" Type="(automix|remix)"
replacing with
Pos="$1" Num="-1" Type="$2"
replace all
that will make all automix points and remix points, visible markers

Uncheck the following button (this extra points do not show in the POI Editor unless you have that checked):
As for deleting them...that's pretty much extra work and they don't really affect anything visibly outside of the POI Editor unless you specify them to show (from the same POI editor). It's probably easier to ignore then and keep Show All unchecked.
Repurposing them (rename/make visible) is a larger task, which would involve some vdjscript and still some manual checking (you might not like where they are automatically placed)

Ah right so initially you asked me to make all automix & remix points into visible markers,
and now you just want to get rid of them.
Again it would be regex exercise.
I'm not sure of the exact regex incantation, replace all is kind of dangerous without testing.
Send me a database backup zip, it won't be hard but it needs to be exact.

Locodog you are right at first I wanted to add them and now removed because Virtualdj did such a bad job that the points are badly placed. BTW your help in the initial demand worked flawlessly and greatly appreciated it.
Ok I think I figured out a way I am happy with.
Instead of deleting all the points that VDJ created I can mark them as invisible so I don't see so many flagged points which gets confusing when mixing. Or take the time and reposition them.
I then add my own cue's and remix point where I need them and add as markers with different colors.
Will be tedious. Ahh the good old disco days where we had to look at the vinyl and see where the breaks are.
Now all this technology and getting picky at least I am :)

That I can advise remotely
MAKE A DATABASE BACKUP BEFORE HAND
search mode click regular expression (bottom left)
searching for
Pos="(\d+\.\d+)" Num="-1" Type="(automix|remix)"
replacing with
Pos="$1" Type="$2"
That will make them all invisible again
As for placing markers, if windows I have a plugin that makes it a bit easier, you'll still have to place them but it removes the need to go into the poi editor [so can be done with a single pad press]

you can predetermine a padpage with marker name and colour.
