Hi,
I am a VDJ user since almost 15 years, now, when it was called AtomixMP3.
I really love VDJ and the last version I use (VDJ 8.2 b3994) is the best.
Eventhough I bought a controller Pioneer DDJ-SX taht comes with Serato, I still prefer VDJ.
BUT !...
Sometimes, I am clumsy with my mouse, my laptop trackpad : I move my folders by accident !
In Serato, there is an option to protect the library.
Is there a same option that would prevent me from doing any further mistake like I did ?
Thanks for your help, and Happy New Year !

Stop moving music files outside of virtual DJ and your issue will go away.

Change setting "readOnly" to Yes
Not quite sure what it actually does but with it on the browser tree can still be modified

I had an issue like this earlier this week. I decided to tidy up my physical folders on the hard drive. I used to have a monthly video subscription and received over 100 video downloads per month. At the time (2013), I had a folder for each month of the year, I decided to amalgamate all the contents of these 12 folders into one physical folder. This was partly to aid a filter folder that I wanted to create and add to the 'My Library' plugin as lately I'm using filter folders more and more.
I moved everything WITHIN VirtualDJ as always advised. Then afterwards on checking I found lots of files wanting to 'relocate missing files'. I could not find the files in the search box. I then selected the whole database and 'added to database' thinking that would fix it, but, no it didn't surprisingly. The only way I could fix it was to restore the original folders and their contents from my backup hard drive and 'add to database' then delete the new amalgamated folder. Everything is back to normal now.

Recently I tried (from within VDJ) to move files from fixed drive (C) to SSD (D) and it didn't create a database on the external drive.
Maybe that needs checked as well.

There is a very good point here, its nit hard to accidently drag a folder, with a touch pad .
I think a lock folder tree option would be good

Indeed this option is to protect the database not the browser tree.

What does DB protection means ?
Would it still be possible to save the history in the DB file ?

Dragging a folder to the right to create a favorite existed at least since vdj 7, this is not changed or new to build 5002.
An option to lock folder tree preventing reordering had been added a while ago already

I found the way of loading music without losing files ,I found VDJ doesn't keep music it keeps location ,so I make sure everything is in my library ,before I was picking from my hardrive ,so when I move file VDJ detects that
