Additional Tagging & Reporting Tools

[Bee-liever]

the only known bug at the moment is completely vague to me Bee-liever's bug report. i'm neither able to reproduce this nor understand why this would happen.

Woo!  8.1.8881.31436 is almost working perfectly.
LR presets preview and run correctly
$LR(<URL>,function_id) works correctly for virtual tag

Only problem is when you try to use that virtual rag in a playlist or for highlighting, MB becomes unresponsive, eventually needing to shutdown and restarted.
No error log is created.

Yes I will  ;-)

@Bee-liever, 1st error means that you have duplicated tracks in the library. it should be fixed now:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/16sid3j34j3da4s/Tagging+Tools_2024-04-25.zip/file

Should that be a non-debugging version that should be used by the 'general population'?

I am asking because two posts lower you offer a download for a debugging version, but this first one also has some .pdb file included, which I assume is for debugging?

@hiccup, i've appreciated your joke

no. i'll upload the release version in a couple of days because Bee-liever's problem seems to be solved. i still need to update documentation (because now the single documentation sources are used for included in plugin .zip .chm files, readme on plugin's add-on page and github documentation).

i don't think it's a bug. mostly likely it's just slow. i can re-enable LR function result caching in the plugin (i've commented out this code because MB-native caching is working fine for me), but i'm not sure if it improves situation significantly. do you consider this issue important?

p.s. it's much better to calculate LR functions at startup, saving their results to custom tags to avoid freezes and slowdowns.

btw, i understand what you mean by "use virtual tag for highlighting", but what do you mean by "use virtual tag for playlist"? auto-playlists?

@hiccup, here is my common style of virtual tag function descriptions (when these descriptions are not copied from source code   ):

    $TitleCase(string)
    $TitleCase2(string,excepted_words)
    $TitleCase3(string,excepted_words,word_splitters)
    $TitleCase4(string,excepted_words,word_splitters,exception_chars)

Yes, in auto-playlists

I am running the LR at startup but not saving to custom tag.
Didn't need to do that with old ALR

I think it's more than just being slow - I've waited for almost 2 hours and the virtual tag still wouldn't load into MB.
If I set that same virtual tag as a displayed field it loads as normal and works fine.
