Additional Tagging & Reporting Tools

[bosseric]

Hi,

Is there a way to create an action that performs something like "Wipe unneeded tags"? I like to keep only certain tags in my files (e.g. Artist, Artist Album, track # and name etc.) and I always remove the other ones manually; something to do this in an automatic way would be really appreciated
Thanks and regards,
Lore

redwing, frankcreed, i will look at  your ideas later, i'm ill now and wont to spent tool much time on programming.

bosseric, suggest you can copy 'toy: set tag' to multiplr presets and say each of them to set emty value for every unnededd  tag (you have to have every preset for every unneeded tag. .if you  tick  checkbox next yo these 'tay: ...' presets, then all these tags wil be auto erased, if you change any tag of track or just move track from inbox to library.

Hope you get better soon. Don't worry about my suggestion. It's not that important.

No rush, but when you feel up to it... I find it WAY too easy to accidentally apply presets on a permanent basis.  Could there maybe be a confirmation, or even a complete separate screen for applying presets that should be "always on" instead of just loaded for single use/editing?

do you mean confirmation before auto-applying presets? if so its very easy to do, but for all auto-applying presets.

Converting only 68 characters would be more than enough. Look at the linked Picard code from line 107 to 175.

redwing, probably i'll publish new asr preset pack later this evening.

i've asked Steven about details about these new tags. waiting for his answer.

[boroda]

redwing, please test new asr preset 'replace unicode punctuation marks...'

phred, psychoadept, please test new option 'ask confirmation before auto-applying this preset' in main asr window.

frankcreed, i've received Stevens comments on new tags, but its not implemented yet.

Thanks for implementing this!
I tested with some unicode characters and it works well. However it for some reason multiplies the converted value. For instance, if you convert "abc" in title tag, it writes "abcabcabc".

i knew that there are some errors.  could you post one example tag with unicode punctuation mark(s), so i can test this myself.

edit: i think i know whats the problem. try this preset pack:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/pc5wmt02zdbc3zp/ASR_Presets.rar

don't forget to 'import all' presets.

@boroda74-

I have unzipped ARS Presents along with the dll and placed them in their respective directories, letting new overwrite old. Trying to start MB I'm now getting the following error when launching MB:

After clicking OK, -sometimes- the Advanced Search and Replace window opens and sometimes it doesn't. In either case, MB opens.
Checking TagNamesErrorLog revels this:

Is this something I can fix, or is there a bug you need to work on?
Thanks.

@phred, its because you've downloaded 02-09-2 plugin version instead of 02-09. to use 02-09-2 version (the only difference between these 2 versions is that 02-09-2 supports for new tags, recently added to mb by Steven) you need mb 3.1 latest patch:
