DCCueFixer is a Lua script that automatically corrects a common mismatch between a file name linked in a CUE sheet and the actual audio file found in the same directory.
DCCueFixer specifically addresses an irritatingly frequent case happening with a particular way lossless music is distributed, where the CUE file is generated before compressing the WAV file with some lossless codec. This results in an unlinked CUE (arrr!!), which prevents playback requiring fixing the CUE file manually.
This script supports both the standalone mode with a lua interpreter and being invoked with DoubleCommander's lua scripting feature.
Both *nix/Windows OS are supported. Lua interpreter (version 5.1 or later) or a DoubleCommander with Lua is required.
-
From a terminal or command prompt:
lua dccuefixer.lua <cue_file_name.cue>Replace
<cue_file_name.cue>with the actual filename of your CUE sheet. -
From DoubleCommander:
-
Create a new toolbar button of the
Internal commandtype. -
Select the
cm_ExecuteSciptin theCommand:drop-down menu. -
Fill the
Parameters:textbox:<full path to dcccuefixer.lua> %"0%pThis will run the script on the currently selected file in the active panel.
-
DCCueFixer scans the CUE file and writes a corrected one within the same directory as the original, adding the audio-file's extension to the CUE filename.
- DCCueFixer prioritizes the following audio file extensions in its filename matching: FLAC, WV, APE, ALAC, WAV.
- If a CUE file entry cannot be matched, DCCueFixer leaves the filename unchanged.
- DCCueFixer outputs messages and errors via standard output in a command line environment, or via DoubleCommander’s message boxes when launched through it.
- The script assumes a basic CUE sheet structure and may not handle all variations.
