Find and replace still weird with special characters
« on: October 03, 2014, 04:38:25 pm »

Hi –

I had the same problem in v19, too. [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=90580.msg622180]

To quote myself:

Quote
The recent version has issues with using Rename/Copy/Move Files to update library location. This was an issue a while back, then got better, and now doesn't work again (I suspect due to the colon tweak).

When moving a Windows library to Mac, I used to just select "Update database" and then "Find & Replace" at the bottom, swapping out the Windows drive name to the Mac /Volumes/ path where the drive "lives." So, for example, the old way would be:

X:
to
/Volumes/Public/My Music

Now, the colon throws an error for <invalid change>, but taking it off and going just with the X yields highly erratic results. It looks like I would get
/Volumes/Public/My Music_/Artist/Album//filename.mp3

So that random underscore as well as the // are problematic. Just so you know...
