Unbreakable db fields [REOPEN]
« on: November 10, 2009, 11:26:04 am »

I have in the my library "immortal" custom fields - Bios, Tempo, Situation, Preference, Original Title, Mood, and, recently, Country. They have empty values, I delete them, but after the restart they reappear. And MC-clients are always load these fields, regardless of their removal on the server. Files with the names of these fields are not in database disc directory.
Please help what I can do with them. As minimum field Country now interferes me.

Hm, I fixed it )

The fields have the same display names with other fields in the database. After change the display names to something and restart - the bad fields disappeared.

PS after library backup/restore MC lost thumbnails

That's normal.  Thumbnails aren't backed up.

Field Country and Original Title appeared again (( and I don't can fix it..
I tried to rename them (after the restart remain with the new name. After removing and restarting - come alive with the old name!)

bump. Still in MC15

I need help with this fields.

Can I send to you my library backup for possible fix? Or that I need doing??

recall: I can't delete the custom fields with the names of "country" and "original title". Reload the MC after delete - the fields again here.

Thanks

you should not worry, it are standard fields, they are fairly recently introduced, they are just not putted in the right category. its one of the rough edges in the lib introduced in the 13/14 cycle. maybe they get smoothened in 15. but when you dont worry they will not get in the way either...

Wow gappie thank you very much for this information.

I did not think about check this fields on a fresh system.
Original Title is also impossible to change the display name!
Certainly do not worry here is impossible. We can not change the type of default fields, we can not hide them, and now we can not even change display name.
I was wondering where we go with a 15 version, but information in the same topic not enough.

Thank you

i do not see this one. i can change the displayname of original title. ? EDIT: i see it now. restarting mc was not enough. system restart did it.  :-\ guess its a bug...


i do agree that it would be very handy if there was an option to hide library fields. with the ones unused hidden adding columns, sorting etc would be much smoother (since most fields are not used by me).

but i surely do not see any direction concerning this in the 15 development.

Let's hope ). The hidden fields and now present in DB - allow the user to control this should not be difficult for developers.

Thank Gappie
