Title: Ø, O folder
Post by: mcj008 on October 13, 2013, 04:32:10 am

Hi, I have a library view showing my file folders, when I cklick on Ø folder it shows also files with artist's name starting with O and the other way around... how to fix this with an expression maybe ??...

Can you explain how the view is defined? And how your folders are organized?

Hi, hope you can see what I mean...the Ø folder should show only Ørjan Nilsen, but it shows others with O...when I click O folder also Ørjan Nilsen shows...the code is what I use for organizing Albums.

I believe you.  I just need to be able to recreate the view to test it myself.  It would help if you can copy and paste the expressions you're using.  I'm not sure where the _MCode is used, and can't see the entire expression anyway.

I reproduced your setup and see the same thing.  It seems that the hierarchical List data type (which a File path Type is) will automatically coalesce letters that appear similar such as O and Ø, even though they display as separate categories.  This seems a bug to me.

Since your folders already contain the letter groupings you want, you could based the column on it:

   left(removeleft([Filename (path)],12),1)

and then have another column show your folder tree beneath that:

   removeleft([Filename (path)], 14)&datatype=[list]

Of course,you'll need to special case your Compilations or other exceptional folders.

I thought that was deliberate.
I'm on the phone, so won't go hunting, but IIRC this was debated along with the fuzzy search logic, and was along much the same principles?

It probably was.

If you show just the single letter, the grouping works as per the category list.  It is only when you convert to a list type that it suddenly changes behavior.

Thanks again for your help MrC, I guess no bug fix? For easiness I just rename Ørjan Nilsen to Orjan Nilsen...problem solved.

I don't know - the developers will have to speak to the issue.  I'll supply instructions for a quick test case if needed.
