Does anyone know why multi-disc releases get the Record Label entered multiple times into the recordlabel field and the Catalog Numbers for every disc tagged into every file instead of just the correct Cat Number each file belongs to?

kccourier: I think the record label bug is fixed, but not in the current beta

I figured that out, but it's frustrating when a four disc box set has the actual catalog number for each individual disc entered in NGS which results in every single file getting tagged with all the listed catalog numbers. Maybe most people won't notice but my naming scheme results in some really long folder names with incorrect data

The catalognumber field for Fleetwood Mac's "The Complete Blue Horizn Sessions: 1967-1969" gets tagged with "73003-273003-2(1)73003-2(2)73003-2(3)73003-2(4)73003-2(5)73003-2(6)

73003-2 is the cat number one the outside of the box with 73003-2(1) for disc 1 and 73003-2(2) for disc 2 and so on....

Maybe there is nothing that can be done about this and I will just have to teach myself enough python to script my own solution. I just wanted someone to be aware that there was an issue at least to me.. Thanks for the response

Something should certainly be done about it, as linking each cat# with its medium is more useful info and more useful info is always good for the DB (even if it didn't affect tagging)
2011-07-12 19310, 2011
kccourier
It would be nice however if the string would have some type of separator between the different cat numbers when they are strung together into the field
2011-07-12 19305, 2011
kccourier
that would make scripting a solution for my naming scheme easier
merged, I think that the merge request should close automatically

maybe of interest to someone: I wrote to BBC how long they need to adapt to NGS, and they wrote "all should be sorted and back to normal

I'm running Debian Sid with libqt4 4.7.3-5

I don't know what could be the problem, but the Qt module is a part of the CMake library
2011-07-12 19310, 2011

it doesn't need QtConcurrent anymore though, so maybe just removing it will fix the problem

might it be that debian split the package and you don't have it installed?

been around forever; doesn't require any extra tools installed for someone to 'just compile' a package.
2011-07-12 19358, 2011
hrglgrmpf
especially of course C programs that need to run on various Unix-like systems... for this case it is the best
2011-07-12 19305, 2011

well, you have to download 1+ MB extra source code in the project tarball :)

I find autotools painful, but the only reason why I use cmake is that it works well on unix, has a clicky-clicky way to generate IDE projects and can build OS X frameworks
2011-07-12 19341, 2011
luks
so I don't have to deal with multiple build systems
2011-07-12 19340, 2011
kepstin-laptop
huh? why would you have to download extra source code in the tarball?
2011-07-12 19343, 2011
hrglgrmpf
yes, I think if I had to support Windows/Linux/OS X I wouldn't use autoconf either...
2011-07-12 19306, 2011
kepstin-laptop
well, the configure script can get kind of big, but not /that/ big.
2011-07-12 19322, 2011
kepstin-laptop is going on happily ignoring windows for now.
2011-07-12 19352, 2011
kepstin-laptop
that, and I don't like IDEs and have never owned an OS X machine.
2011-07-12 19308, 2011
hrglgrmpf
kepstin-laptop: well, I think if you have a fully autoconfigred project (libtool+gettext), it can be really big (but of course 1M+ was an exaggeration :-))
2011-07-12 19333, 2011
hrglgrmpf
especially libtool needs so many helper programs

I'm sure I can find enough autotools code in the tarball to add up to 1MB

the modern hip compression format to use in the linux world is xz (an updated lzma2)
2011-07-12 19338, 2011
hrglgrmpf
yes, but I use autoconf because I have/want to support many Unix-like systems, so xz archives are sometimes a little cumbersome
2011-07-12 19355, 2011

but yeah, the worst thing are the hand-rolled build systems.
