File status badges

Every song card shows a file status badge. The badge tells you at a glance whether LTCast can find the audio file on disk. A red badge before a show needs to be fixed before that song can play.

Badge states

• Green (OK) — the file was found at its saved path; the song is ready to play
• Red (File missing) — the file was not found; the song cannot play until you relink it; click the badge to open a file picker and point LTCast to the new location

Relinking a missing file

Click the red badge on any song card. A file picker opens — navigate to the new location of the audio file and select it. LTCast updates the stored path and the badge turns green immediately.

Reconnect Folder

If many files have moved to a new folder (for example, you copied the project to a different drive), use Reconnect Folder instead of relinking each file individually. Click the folder icon in the setlist toolbar, select the folder that now contains your audio files, and LTCast scans it for matching filenames. Every file it can match is relinked at once. A toast notification shows how many files were successfully reconnected.

Auto-relink on open

When you open a project, LTCast automatically tries to find any missing files in folders near the saved path. If it finds a match, it relinks silently and shows a toast with the count. This handles the common case where a project moved to a slightly different path but the relative folder structure is intact.

Setlist toolbar warning

When one or more files are missing, the setlist toolbar shows a warning badge with the count of missing files. This gives you a quick check before a show without scrolling through the entire setlist.
