I didn't think about that option. Thanks a lot for letting me know!

Hi. It's regression ... thanks for the report.

var currentTrack = app.player.getCurrentTrack();
var copy = currentTrack.getTemporaryCopy();

if (track.artist !== newArtist) {
	let newTrack = track.getTemporaryCopy()
	newTrack.artist = newArtist
	track.assign(newTrack)
}

Hi everybody,
it looks like (one of) the latest public revision(s) changed how getTemporaryCopy works. Previously, I could do something like this:
[code]var currentTrack = app.player.getCurrentTrack();
var copy = currentTrack.getTemporaryCopy();[/code]
Now I'm just getting a wrong parameter count error when trying that. Other than [url=http://www.mediamonkey.com/webhelp/MM5Preview/classes/Track.html#method_getTemporaryCopy]this[/url], which doesn't say anything about any parameters I couldn't find any examples or documentation, so I'm a bit lost on how to use the function.
I suppose I could use getTemporaryCopies instead, but wrapping a track it in a tracklist, making a copy of said list and finally extracting a copy of the original track seems kinda hacky if I only have one track to begin with.

So, does anybody have any hints on how to use getTemporaryCopy or any other method to copy a track object that doesn't just return a reference to the original object but actually creates a new one?


[b]Edit:[/b]
Having a look at my original function, maybe I'm overthinking this:

[code]if (track.artist !== newArtist) {
let newTrack = track.getTemporaryCopy()
newTrack.artist = newArtist
track.assign(newTrack)
}[/code]
I wrote this some time ago, so I probably just copied it from some example I found. Is there any actual benefit to cloning the object, changing a single property and then assigning the copy back to the original - I mean as opposed to just changing the property? It's probably handy if you change a couple of attributes and want to avoid having to compare every single property to update the original object, but in this case it's maybe just a waste of resources.

Yes, just assigning a new value to track.artist works fine and doesn't have any negative side effects (that I could find), so I'll just use that. Out of curiosity I sill wonder how getTemporaryCopy should be used, though.
