| Summary | 0005528: Multi-attribute field configuration: spacing is confusing | ||||
| Description | When configuring the multi-attribute splitter, configuration of the separator is spacing-dependent. This is very confusing to the user who won't understand why the splitter doesn't work as expected if they e.g. enter a ';' instead of a '; '. What should happen is that entering a ';' should split: 'Artist1;Artist2' 'Artist1; Artist2' 'Artist1 ;Artist2' 'Artist1 ; Artist2' In all four cases, the artist should be represented: -In the tracklist / properties panel (or anywhere else where the full string is shown) as entered. -In the tree / find more from... (or any other location where the individual artists are shown) without a leading or trailing space. | ||||

I don't see any problem there, no matter how many spaces you enter, ';' properly separates the artists. The space(s) in configuration are only useful to tell MM how to visually split the artists, but they aren't important for real splitting. |

I retested and confirmed that this is no longer a problem--whether the splitter is defined as ';' or '; ', if the splitter is entered as 'a;b' 'a; b' or 'a ;b' MediaMonkey always creates a split, though it is visually represented as 'a; b'. |
