Some problems with upgrade (Junior Woodpecker Topic)
« on: January 05, 2009, 07:16:56 pm »

:) sorry for my english

greetings with new release, dear developers and happy holidays )
traditionaly thanks for you excellent software

i'm with big interesting look on new version, but waiting final release for migrate main db, and now i start this..  some questions

i create custom field in my MC12 database (1 TB audio ::)) - Style. This is standard list (semicolon delimited) value, and music release can have many style at one time (like in reality ). For example:
Artist: Plaid
Album: Double Figure
Style: Leftfield; IDM; Downtempo
in MC12 all good and looks like list:
Leftfield
IDM
Downtempo

in MC 13 style field like genre - string data type, and i can't change this..  - Leftfield; IDM; Downtempo

Yeah, for now i create new "Custom Style" list field, but if its possible - may be user can change Data Type option in new MC13 "Style" field.

another lamo question - how i can import hi-res date (like 30 May 2003 or 30.05.2003) in MC13?
If i paste date from clipboard in MC all works fine. But i have 1905, 1906, 1930 and other strange years, if i try import mp3 edited by mp3tag (i write without problem all another tags for MC12 and 13).. many combinations mp3 field and date format with no result. Ok, i try copy hi-res date in MC from another field, from "comment" for example. And this way dont work, 30.05.2003 (or 30 May 2003) from comment tag = 29.01.1900 1:12 in Date field :(. Its about mp3, but for flac similar problems.

We'll have to think about whether we can make the new stock field "Style" a list field.

For now, your best bet is a new field, like you mentioned.  You can use the Move / Copy Fields tool to copy data from one to the other.

For the date parsing, try using dashes instead of dots.

thanks for tips Matt

for now i not have any problem with my custom style field. but if you change type or another way - i will be happy

about date - unfortunality its don't work (

if i paste from clipboard 07-06-1995 - all ok. If i copy this value from another tag, comment for example - i have blank data field in MC main view and MC file tag view (i make some screenshots). if i try write 07-06-1995 from latest mp3tag, after import in MC i have blank date in MC view and correct - in file tag MC view, like in screenshot..

Yes, i use only included skins in MC13 - no time for fun ))

i switch from Blue Steel skin to Slim skin (feature request for MC15 - "always on top" option ;) ).

And bug in another direction - switch from slim to blue steel - screenshot - i don't crop MC picture, this effect - after i doubleclick to slim top to maximize. I do this on my second monitor (vaio sz 1280*800). I have this bug for 50% of trys(

I have this bugs and in MC12.

my video config - vaio sz 1280*800 + acer 1920*1200 dual monitor on intel X3100

Introduced in build 13.0.153:

Quote
5. Changed: Added "Credits" field.  Importing My Movies xml file adds only actor names to Actors field, but actor/role to credits field.
   

I use the credit field for many years for my music. Now you do the same with a closed setting, and I again have to enclose the new custom field. I use now also "Custom Genre" and "Custom Style" tags - because I want use list data type instead of string default. Why not allow them at least to set up?

another example - Media Sub Type field. Why i don't can add another values? Not me, not any in my family don't use Apple hard|software, and i don't think about compatibility with ipod. But I had to create new tag - Media MegaSub Types, for custom music video types..

now I cannot see the credits field for audio files even from action bar ?
and don't can copy fields from Move/Copy fields.. - i don't see new "credits" and in copy field action.

Please help - how i can restore my credits tag? i can see this only as panes category for now, and with wrong type for me (. I don't know about problems with my library if I downgrade to pre-.153 build..

It will use the AppData folder for some temporary files.  This is not currently configurable.

They're more likely to be answered if they have a subject that describes the problem.  If they aren't answered reply with "bump".
