Please correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik, Genres are pre-populated (and presumably not deleted) based on Genres that are included in the ID3V1 spec. Similarly, it would probably be unexpected if MM deleted the default classifications that are included. |

I see that it has always worked the same way in MM4 too. Peke probably means that newly created and subsequently deleted classification values shouldn't be available in the media tree, but this also works the same way in MM4 (empty tempo subnodes available). So assigning to Rusty to decide what's is expected here and whether something needs to be changed for future versions. |

I think that in general, a node should be deleted if it doesn't contain any content. The only exceptions to this might be if the node is pre-populated in MM (like ID3v1 genres, or classifications that are pre-populated). BUT, even in the case of those exceptions, it would make sense to hide the nodes / entries in combo-lists if there are no such instances and the user has manually deleted the node. |

@Rusty: I don't think this is related to genres. Currently when I start MM5 as fresh install with empty DB then I don't see any genres (be it sub to the Genres node or in the Genres dropdown in properties) unless I scan at least one track into database. BUT... I see dozen of empty Moods, Occassions etc. (see attached screenshot) unless I explicitly delete them from the Media Tree as nodes. So I guess that we sould either: 1) Unify this with the other files and show a value only when there is at least one track linked to that corresponding value (preferred?) and thus initially show Tempo, Mood, Occassion, Quality as empty nodes. 2) Leave it as is -- considering that in MM3 times there was a reason to have this predefined sets of Moods, Occassion, Quality ? Just not sure what the rationale was? image.png (31,351 bytes) |
