Highlighting icons x 3 only displays 1 match

[Bee-liever]

Just noticed that where you could display up to 3 matches for highlighting rules (if smaller icons were supplied and 'maximum matches displayed' = 3) no longer works.
Smaller icons are displayed but only one match ever shows.

Thank you.
The three icons are showing again

but (yeah, I know)

something is wrong with the parsing of some of the Artists: ... tags



Artists: Musicians works fine.

Artists: Guest, Artists: Artist and Artists: Remixer don't.

I am not completely clear what issue you are reporting. Are you saying <Artists: Artist> is not matching value ";" when it should?

If thats what you are saying then you need to understand the ; is only a display thing. The search treats each artist separately

Yes, that's true.
It's also not just isolated to highlighting rules as I originally thought. It occurs anywhere you can use Artist: [whatever] for sorting.

My rule
Artists: Guest  /  has a value
normally parses as Artists: Guest is not null, but that doesn't work

As a work-around I changed it to
Artists: Guest  /  is not  / [blank]
which parses as Artists: Guest is not '' and that works

Couldn't even get <Artists: Artist> to work using regex match ^\;*

Then something has changed as I used that on a filter to get tracks with multiple artists. That filter was working, but not anymore

I would hazard a guess and say this was where it got changed: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=29744.0

In older v3.3 versions there was inconsistency between how the various Artist: fields were treated.
I think it should be OK to set the behavior so the display value is used in the comparison - i tested against the issue that triggered the change and it is still working

Thank you so much Steven.

I was already thinking I'd have to use my last open virtual tag to come up with some way of calculating what tracks had two or more artists.

Once again........thank you!
