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..

[morrison]

hm.. Why if i use "Locate - Album" on child view scheme (root\Workshop\Audio) MC change view to root\Audio, not to root\Workshop\Audio?
screenshots
maybe its new feature/option - please help..

switch from main to mini view bug(?) screenshot

[JimH]

Did you try one of the skins shipped with MC?

[morrison]

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

[morrison]

hm...

and another problem, help please (

i can't update FLAC tag's from MC. I remove all tags from files with mp3tag, check this with dbpoweramp and mp3tag - all tags empty.
i do "Update library (from tags)", MC says "Library updated for 7 files (0 failures) - and not change tags info, all tags stay present in db. Ok, i delete file from db and re-import  - and all old field in db present again. For file with clear tags...

[morrison]

another strange - MC not use custom Temp folder. In my setting - U:\Temp\ , but MC (latest) still write temp to AppData folder..

[morrison]

Introduced in build 13.0.153:

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..

[Matt]

another strange - MC not use custom Temp folder. In my setting - U:\Temp\ , but MC (latest) still write temp to AppData folder..

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