Hi, 

I only just found out, that Companion is also available for Mac now, awesome!

I have a question regarding the Batch-Import option: "update songs if matching files are found".
This option only updates songs if files exist with the exact same name, correct?

Would it be possible to add further configuration
1. add some regex patterns or number of (consecutive) characters that may differ?
2. only update existing songs, dont add new ones?

My use case:

I upload sheet music to a folder, shared among my band mates.
Whenever I update a song, i recreate the pdf files and increment a version string e.g. "Title - Instrument.v8.pdf" -> "Title - Instrument.v9.pdf" (allowing difference of 1 character or even better difference within regex e.g. /v[0-9]*/ would suffice.
If a band member wants to fetch the latest updates, it would be super comfortable for them, to just refer to that shared folder with the companion app.
update only files that match (except for version string) and be done with it.

Yours,

Mathias

It's going to look like a hellish machine  

The best thing, if we want to have versionning control, is to offer to ignore the information in brackets [...].
That way, everyone can do what they think is useful with this option; it would be ignored in the file name...

But it has to be optional, right now, we have lots of files including brackets...

AND, I gave up on dealing with versioning, there is always a member of the group who confuses. It is simpler to say "you update songs or the setlist before all meeting"
