I have a Picard question and would appreciate directions if possible

Using File Naming when saving an album, I'd like to substitute automatically some characters
2022-07-04 18519, 2022
quinq
Is that something that would be doable through a file naming script, or am I looking at the wrong place?

(XY question: I'd actually like to replace slash ASCII '/' characters with division '∕' unicode character)

Are you wanting to replace it in the tags saved in the files?
2022-07-04 18504, 2022
rdswift
The problem with replacing it in the file naming script is that the forward slash (/) is used to indicate a new directory.
2022-07-04 18522, 2022
rdswift
If you want to replace it in the tags themselves, then you need to make the replacements in a tagging script (as opposed to the file naming script).

Not in the tags, but in the filenames
2022-07-04 18529, 2022
quinq
(which would be named *from* the tags indeed)
2022-07-04 18502, 2022
quinq
Yes, I want to replace slash with the unicode division character *because* it's a forbidden character in filenames :)

You would have to replace it in the tags (using a tagger script), but even then I'm not sure that Picard wouldn't automatically replace it with an underscore. It *might* work if you disabled the "Replace non-ASCII characters" option in the File Naming options.

CatQuest
i personally wish there ws a 2use x instead of y" for those "illegal characters"
2022-07-04 18528, 2022
CatQuest
so i want to just us space or nothing for most of them in filenames
2022-07-04 18543, 2022
CatQuest
but for : maybe " - " works
2022-07-04 18514, 2022
CatQuest
it's actually really annoying thati have to manually rename files to remove underscores
2022-07-04 18533, 2022
CatQuest
I don't care about the file names generally. it's fine to just ommit any "illegal" glyphs
2022-07-04 18523, 2022
quinq
CatQuest, exactly, that was my question :)

Can I suggest that you enter a ticket? I suspect that there would be a lot of users interested in that sort of option.
note the lack of a title change, and the weird shit happening to the 14th track

Is there a musicbrainz rule about using ASCII quote ' instead of apostrophe ’ in track names?
2022-07-04 18530, 2022
Erin
i'm not sure, but i think the usual preference is to be as accurate as possible
2022-07-04 18536, 2022
Erin
whatever the release has
2022-07-04 18508, 2022
Erin
that said, for usability stuffs, i definitely would prefer things that are more universal
2022-07-04 18549, 2022
Erin
for example, when i do romaji transliterations, i use wapuro instead of other methods, because it avoids special characters not in the simple a-z set
2022-07-04 18500, 2022
quinq
It's not often clear what a “release” has
2022-07-04 18507, 2022
quinq
It's more in par with the language script
2022-07-04 18528, 2022
Erin
yeah
2022-07-04 18535, 2022
Erin
using the language relevant characters is probably correct
2022-07-04 18542, 2022
quinq
ok
2022-07-04 18544, 2022
quinq
Thanks :)
2022-07-04 18545, 2022
Erin
and then translations/transliterations can use a more compatible one
2022-07-04 18500, 2022
Erin
for example, japanese uses an L shape thing for quotes
2022-07-04 18504, 2022
Erin
in romaji, i switch that to "
2022-07-04 18514, 2022
quinq
allright

Bit late but - typographical apostrophe is preferred. Picard can then be configured to make it ASCII (other way round is trickier because it's context dependent)
