I don't know if I missed the announcement (probably) or not, but I just noticed that this had been updated to allow this functionality in/on other fields besides just [Track #], as per Wer's March request on the MC 27 board for some updates for classical music tagging. As someone who does A LOT of classical tagging in MC, this new functionality really, really speeds things up for me. So: thanks again!

One suggestion, if possible: allow "Field" to be chosen same as we might for "Find and Replace" or other such operations, and have it be remembered as it is for "Find and Replace," with a check box. Besides track numbers, I use this tool for movement numbers and have a custom field I fill with it. It works fine as is but can be a pain having to type in the field name anew each time I use it.

But in the main, thanks again for such a time-saving feature!

Thanks for the feedback.

The list of fields adds track # and episode #.  I suppose we could add all the fields instead, but that might be a little overwhelming for people.

Another approach would be to save the last used field or maybe last few used fields?

What do you think?  Thanks.

[timwtheov]

Yes, I think that latter version (saving the last few fields, say) would work well for me. Thanks!

You got it.

Next build:
NEW: Typing a custom field into the Fill Track Numbers From List Order tool will save the fields for future use (up to ten are saved).

[timwtheov]

Excellent! Thanks again!

What expression needs to be in the field in order for track numbers to start over again with each new album?  I messed it up from the default.  "=Counter()" is not working.

[timwtheov]

I think as long as [Album] and maybe [Disc #] are there, you should be good. You can use custom fields too.

Neither one seemed to work.  The track numbers does not start over with different albums.

[timwtheov]

Just to double-check: do you have [Track #] in "Field?" and "Start over each" is checked?

[Matt]

You want to start over each album probably.

I have this for start over:
Album;Disc #;Album Artist (auto)

Yes. I tried [Track #] and =[Track #], with the check mark ticked any it didn't work.

[Matt]

Starting over each track # would probably restart every track.  You don't want that.

That worked.  Thank you!!
