MM4 Show Links in File List: Redirect Notice Wikipedia option [#16875]

Post by pip_pill »

When using MM4 "Show Links in File List: Wikipedia option selected - under Tools/Appearance/Show Links in File List

Right clicking the "link" in the File list creates a Google "Redirect Notice" every time, as an example, these are the look up urls created by MM4:

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en ... nd_(album)
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en ... cers_Union

I have tried to see if this is my machine error but (as a novice and not fully understanding the information) reading about the url creation it would appear that the "q" in the url is creating an issue in google lookup of wikipedia... and as I cannot change this I am advising of the issue.

When using "Show Links in File List: with other options selected ie "Google" and others it seems to work fine for example:
Google,
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=G ... oul+Asylum
cd Universe
https://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp? ... cers+Union

YouTube - doesn't show a link in the file list!

From memory this worked fine up until about six months to a year ago!...

Sorry Lowlander, but
the BUG for "Wiki" is still not fixed after more than two months and three new versions.
Best regards

Hello Lowlander,

very simple question and also very easy to answer:
Will this change be made for MM4?
And please don't comment: our priority is MM5.
I think it would be polite to answer.

Thank you.

That would likely be the answer though. MediaMonkey 4 is mostly getting only critical updates, so there is a good chance that this won't get fixed in an update in MediaMonkey 4.

Very tedious and angry with your answers.
Arrogance comes before the deep fall.
Thanks, that's it for me in this forum.
