feature and optimization request

Hi,

first of all: As old Traktor user, meanwhile Serato user: You are on the correct way. Just love RB and purchased a DDJ-RX instead of a DDJ-SX2 just due to 10 minutes play around in the shop.

I have it now for three days, so I have not the most experience. But I found in these days already room for improvement and as the "direct seen/missing" stuff is generally the important points and no "I played for month around and thought after 8 beers could, should, would....", here you go:

1. The time in the decks is a little small. There is room enough, please change the size as this is the most important information.

2. please change the time display so that we can arrange it. Today I can select between elapsed and remain and this, as mentioned, is small. Please make it like in Traktor, here I can have the remain as big countdown and the elapsed/total time additional.

3. please add another attribute to the intelligent playlist. Today you can just filter and sort it by tags. Most guys have a folder structure on the HDD to sort the purchased music. (by store, by genre, by year, whatever...) For me it would be nice to have the option to include the folder into the rules for those playlist. For example: if folder (or filepath, might be easier tp realize) contains "xyz" or is"xyz".

4. please add, as in Traktor, the option to "watch a folder". In Traktor you can define a folder where your music is stored and Traktor will watch this and add new file to the collection by auto. Analysis is as well triggered then by auto. That is what I´ve missed the most in the last two years as Serato is here a joke. Adding is "please remember all subfolders where you stored something new" AND analysis is only in offline mode, you have to disconnect or switch off the controller. A nightmare. Traktor was perfect: main folder = "music" and under this my subfolders. Just tell Traktor to whatch "music" and all files, regardless in which subfolder added, are imported to the collection and analyzed. For me the most perfect solution on the market. (this function, not Traktor :) )

like the watch folder   I have requested this too   Importing folders all the time is a pain in the behind.

Yes agree. I miss Traktor 'automatically' detecting new tracks in my music directory and adding them.

Item #4 is a great feature idea and would make managing music libraries much easier!  I'd finally feel confident that I truly have my whole library in Rekordbox DJ.
