Importing Videos sets ALBUM field to date
« on: January 04, 2009, 09:23:41 pm »

When importing videos, MC13 is (I think) automatically setting the ALBUM field to a date.  At first, I thought it was the import date.  I noticed it and looked back at several other videos and on many the ALBUM fields are set to "date imported", "date created", or "date modified".  I can't figure out the pattern.

Weird.  A bug?  I searched the forums and it was reported in the past for earlier versions (MC11 + 12), with no apparent resolution that I could find.

How can I either 1) turn this off so ALBUM stays blank or 2) choose something else to automatically go into the ALBUM field?

Thanks!

When there is no album in the file tag, the date is used for the album.

This is handy for images, television recordings, downloads, etc.  You can manually clear or change the album if you don't like this.
