nestable fields: wow! + tips

<< < (5/7) > >>

datdude:
That did it, so that means there is a bug in the Tag AW.

The only problem now, is that not all files are getting the first level Genre field.  (Note all files do in fact have Genre data.)  What this results in is a lot of Styles not being nested, so it looks like this

Rock
  Alternative
  Punk

Alternative
Punk

Wonder why that is? Genre is a string, and Styles is a list.

rjm:
Filter on Alternative and have a look at Genre. I'll bet you've got some empty Genre fields.

datdude:
Nope I thought that might have been the case.

Here is one of the results I get in the list for a specific file:

Alternative Metal;Rock\Heavy Metal;Thrash

You can see it is not nesting all the items in the list with 'Rock'.

rjm:
ahhh...

You've got mulitple items assigned to Style. I have not yet figured out how to handle these automatically. What I would do is sort the Test column and then do some strategic group editing and/or find & replace.

What you want to end up with is:

Rock\Alternative Metal;Rock\Heavy Metal;Rock\Thrash

So you could find and replace Thrash with Rock\Thrash etc.

datdude:
Exactly.

Hopefully Matt is reading this!
