Title: Thanks for the updated "Fill Track Numbers from List Order!"
Post by: timwtheov on August 01, 2021, 03:16:19 pm: I don't know if I missed the announcement (probably) or not, but I just noticed that this had been updated to allow this functionality in/on other fields besides just [Track #], as per Wer's March request on the MC 27 board for some updates for classical music tagging. As someone who does A LOT of classical tagging in MC, this new functionality really, really speeds things up for me. So: thanks again!

One suggestion, if possible: allow "Field" to be chosen same as we might for "Find and Replace" or other such operations, and have it be remembered as it is for "Find and Replace," with a check box. Besides track numbers, I use this tool for movement numbers and have a custom field I fill with it. It works fine as is but can be a pain having to type in the field name anew each time I use it.

But in the main, thanks again for such a time-saving feature!

The list of fields adds track # and episode #. I suppose we could add all the fields instead, but that might be a little overwhelming for people.

Another approach would be to save the last used field or maybe last few used fields?

What do you think? Thanks.

You got it.

Next build:
NEW: Typing a custom field into the Fill Track Numbers From List Order tool will save the fields for future use (up to ten are saved).

Post by: nathanchavez on October 04, 2021, 01:07:44 pm: What expression needs to be in the field in order for track numbers to start over again with each new album? I messed it up from the default. "=Counter()" is not working.

Post by: timwtheov on October 04, 2021, 01:09:50 pm: I think as long as [Album] and maybe [Disc #] are there, you should be good. You can use custom fields too.

Neither one seemed to work. The track numbers does not start over with different albums.

Post by: timwtheov on October 04, 2021, 01:14:46 pm: Just to double-check: do you have [Track #] in "Field?" and "Start over each" is checked?
Title: Re: Thanks for the updated "Fill Track Numbers from List Order!"
Post by: Matt on October 04, 2021, 01:16:14 pm: You want to start over each album probably.

I have this for start over:
Album;Disc #;Album Artist (auto)

Yes. I tried [Track #] and =[Track #], with the check mark ticked any it didn't work.

Post by: Matt on October 04, 2021, 01:17:31 pm: Starting over each track # would probably restart every track. You don't want that.
