Question: mido.filename Not Set With Save to New File - True? #589
Description
Using the docs @ https://mido.readthedocs.io/en/stable/files/midi.html#creating-a-new-file I:
- Create a new midi file object-instance.
- I Append a track and write data to that.
- Then I save the file to my hard drive.
- If, immediately after, I query the newly saved mido.midifile object for it's filename: mido.MidiFile.filename I get the result "None."
I'm here just looking for a confirm that is correct behavior (i.e., I need to keep my user-supplied filename around for later use even after the midi file object save).
My actual code snips:
class OutputMIDI:
def __init__(self, outputFile):
self.midiOut = mido.MidiFile()
self.outFilePath = outputFile
def timeshiftTrack(self, track):
pass # <-- figure this out. I think this should be a private function that gets called by appendTrack().
def appendTrack(self, track):
self.midiOut.tracks.append(track)
def writeFile(self):
print(f'Writing File - outfile = {self.outFilePath}')
self.midiOut.save(self.outFilePath)
# Just test if the save updates the object's filename param:
print(f'File Written - outfile = {self.midiOut.filename}')After building the outputMIDI, when I call writeFile() I get:
Writing File - outfile = /home/jroc/Dropbox/projects/Audio_AddCountIn_MIDI/test-21a.mid
File Written - outfile = None
NOTE: The file is actually written to disk and is fine.
And Thank You for creating mido!
