Collection List Delimiter
« on: February 01, 2022, 01:24:08 am »

Hi

Has the delimiter that splits a multi part tag (say Artist) changed.

It use to artist1; artist 2 then it was shrunk to artist1;artist2

ie dropping the <Space> in  <Semi Colon><Space>

I am finding a few examples where a list of Artists is not splitting properly and when using the artist tag in a view I get a clumsy string of four artist names run into one

Why was it changed ?

Mikeo - The removal of the space behind the semi-colon delimiter in lists was done in MC26 to reduce the size of the Library/Database.
However the resultant bad/unacceptable on screen  presentation of lists caused an uproar so it was decided to add the space behind the semi-colon when ; delimited lists are displayed. A project that still hasn't been completed.

Just out of curiosity which skin are you using?
