tag with mm5 ?

[teodore]

Hello, community,

As mm5 alpha is relatively stable now, I decided to tag more precisely with mm5.

And I will share my difficulties with you and suggest some improvements.
Thank you for completing this open discussion on tagging.

1. new albums outside the database

They are located in a working directory where I access through file management.
In this case they are non-mainstream French song files downloaded from a non-specialist source.

1.1 When using the file manager, there is no display per album

1.2 Manual cover and booklet additions (Browse)

1.21 To manually add one or more images, the procedure does not seem clear, long and complicated to me:
Properties - Artwork - lookup image - Browse
According to me there should be the Browse option next to image lookup or maybe in the context menu a manual-tag field

1.22 Browse does not start in the selected directory

1.23 Multiple images cannot be selected in one operation as in mm4

1.24 The add operation proceeds from the Properties option and not from a tagger field. Why? to tag here means autotag but in English it is not specified in french (which is not a problem at this stage)

1.25 If an image is opened for viewing (because it is too small to read track names for example), it is not possible to leave without closing the displayed image which is annoying for later making a manual addition track by track of information from the booklet or cover back


1.3 Automatic cover and booklet additions (Lookup)
In the current state, to tag accurately and conscientiously, the auto tag module from the web does not offer enough options to be used.
We don't know the source, we don't really know what the function will do. In any case less clearly than in the musicbrainz and discog modules of mm4.

to follow

Ps this is the first time i have no crash during those operations. Good job guys !

1.26 tag and special characters (eddition with mm5)

accents on mm5 : https://ti1ca.com/et2yybdy-tagMM5-tagMM5.jpg.html
but not in Windows properties : https://ti1ca.com/jwisxenj-windows10pro ... s.jpg.html

may be because the tags are not synchronised

1.27 One crash

2.6 Message : Cover tag index out of bounds (0/0) (D:\Delphi\MediaMonkeyClean\HTML5Monkey\Covers.pas, line 827).
2.7 ID : 7D149389

1.28 Uncaught Error "Zero tracks!"

I had changed the name of the directory "2007 - progetto di roberto cipelli" directly by the file manager on the left.
Then I tried to right-click on the "Cipelli" subdirectory.

First time it's ok but i forget to select tracks
I'm starting the operation again. Freeze on the middle.

I tried the same operation twice more - crash and freeze when I send the report.

2.5 Type : EExternalException

Finally, the sixth attempt was the right one.
However I could not add covers and booklet from the folder or by lookup ?!

I should point out that the files were in wav format.

From log i see you're using 2115 ? Did you tried auto-tag with 2116 ?

[teodore]

sorry i thought i had done

navigation 2116 seems quicker than 2115
-------------------------------------------------------
two problems (non tag)

1. MM5 2116 crash during the selection of a directory in the file manager on the left

But 2115 seems more stable than 2116 : one hour a lot of problems (+10) by browsing the folders, or tagging and also on overture (freeze without id or messages)

exemple : https://ti1ca.com/jqbhjuk4-freeze-freeze.png.html
here it's add image by browse and each time mm5 can arrive to unread tracks or add cover
other message:
https://ti1ca.com/8ye6v16n-cover2-cover2.png.html

two of multiple problems to browse folders : slow, conflicts, strange reactions etc.

tomorrow I'll be back on a new database
Good night

[add Aug 02, 2018]
is it possible that the strange behaviors and slowness (when i browse in the folder tree) come from the auto-scan at startup?

[teodore]

Clear database

File - manage database - clear database - "this will delette.." YES

1. move or cut one or many folders to a parent folder don't work for me

2. Move ouside mm5

MM5 open again, in the course of rescan, I try to select a folder and here is the following message :
