track # bug

<< < (2/3) > >>

ferday:
you're misunderstanding Arindelle

my SL is just looking for an (incomplete album) designation.  i then click the expand arrow on the album in question (taking me to a pane view of the album), and get into the tagging window to see what problems it has that may be the source of the error (usually track # as most of my artist / album info is there).  i'm far from an expert LOL but also far from a noob in both maintenance views and expression language

tl;dr   i'm dragging the files into the correct order (from a smartlist into the now playing pane), and typing =counter() into the track # field.  when this crashes, it is indeed a bug!

 :D yep, I do do that a lot, sorry

Duplicated exactly your workflow and well I can't get it to crash, but (in version21 from a client PC) it does not fill in the track numbers at all -- actually what it is doing for me is emptying the track field -- meaning erasing them.  Luckily the fill tracks from list order works perfectly

So yes it seems like a bug indeed. Thanks for the info Ferday

ferday:
thank you for your help as always!

So far I've done ~200 using fill track # from list and no crashes.  I have found a few other hiccups during the process but I'll test if they're reproducible first

glynor:
I use Counter() within Playlists all the time (manually dragging them up and down), and within Playing Now.  That's generally my method to fix things like that:

1. Find an album (or, more commonly for me, TV Show episodes) that have messed up [Track #] or [Episode] tags.
2. Play one of them, so the Playing Now list shows only those files I want to fix.
3. Use one of my Links to open up an online database where I can look up the proper order and put it on the other monitor (or half of the screen if I'm slumming it on my laptop).
4. Drag-drop them up and down into the order they should be in.
5. Fill with Counter().

I don't think I've ever tried it with a Smartlist.  Wouldn't have ever occurred to me to try.

Performing these EXACT steps is what is crashing MC21 reliably
If I right click and "fill track by list order" it doesn't crash.
