hey, what's the deal with left and right quotes, vs unhanded quotes?
i was just doing fighting with beets and i saw that it wanted to tag stuff with handed single quotes.
how does picard translate %title$ to a file name if it has handed quotes in it?
i looked and I have 13 right single quotes in my library on 60k songs, so picard's saving as ' ?
(that should be e.g., %title% & strike doing in front of fighting with beets)

the one thing that might be notable
ascii does not contain curly quotes
not sure if that's a factor
but you would have to go to unicode to use htem
so not sure what the MB rules might be/are, but I would personally lean toward straight quotes for maximum compatibility

<06julian45> "Use of basic ASCII punctuation characters such as ' and " is allowed, but typographically-correct punctuation (such as ’ for the English apostrophe) is preferred." (https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Miscellaneous)
Erin
interesting
iconoclast_hero
you're not going to see me entering typographically-correct 's
anyway, not the question.
what does picard do about them?
well, it was part of the question...
Erin
im not sure
compatibility is a legit concern but
iconoclast_hero
julian45, there's not a bot that goes through and changes them is there?
Erin
given anime's tendency to have weird shit like hearts in titles, picard probably supports unicode
discordbrainz
<06julian45> not that i know of
v6lur has quit
<06julian45> and yes picard definitely supports unicode
Erin
so yeah, it probably just works either way
discordbrainz
<06julian45> speaking as someone who has put through lots of japanese titles and also funky punctuation through it
Erin
also depending on your interface and engine, it might not even matter
engine? i meant to say font
how did i do that XD

I'm not at all happy having to deal with 'Khruangbin -- เครื่องบิน (2011)' on the command line, however... it's a bit different then throwing in handed 's for aesthetic reasons.
Erin
...my irc client needs to get unicode support
iconoclast_hero
what happens with the tags is largely irrelevant since i almost never deal with tags on the cli or need to enter handed quotes in the gui... however, if picard puts them in the file names, then i need to get a naming script or something to comb through my tagged/outgoing directory to convert them back.
<06julian45> personally i have my picard installation add tags, but leave filenames alone, and then i use my player/library manager to handle file renaming later if i want to
iconoclast_hero
i have replace non-ascii off and windows compat off.

$replacemulti(name,search,replace[,separator])
`$replacemulti(%mypath%,’,')`
?
and just go through the other 4 in the naming script?

I don’t know script stuff off the top of my head, but should be the way!
I’m still waking up, just saw you’re only concerned with file names. I’m actually not sure if Picard puts curlies in those. I’ll look for a release to check (if nobody gets there first)
iconoclast_hero
oh...
because that didn't work.
i'm not 100% on what replacemulti does since it has setmulti first and I'm just cleaning my entire path of the handed quotes.
i haven't broken my naming script yet, so that's good.

I just double checked running an album with a curly through Picard, and the filename seems to just use the standard '
So your filenames may be coming from elsewhere
Erin
w00t i think i fixed the asian script problem in hexchat
iconoclast_hero
actually, my question was...
i looked and I have 13 right single quotes in my library on 60k songs, so picard's saving as ' ?
so i was just making sure that was the case. those 13?
probably bootlegs i haven't checked in
aerozol[m]
Gotcha! Sorry if I misled you
iconoclast_hero
np
Erin
hm
interesting
iconoclast_hero
i just don't want to e.g., activate beets and then have all these handed quotes everywhere
Erin
ntfs does support unicode so it shouldnt be windows doing it to you
aerozol[m]
Those accursed bootlegs that really aren’t valid for addition to MB. The blight of my library
Erin
out of curiosity, can you rename the file using a handed quote?
like, manually
iconoclast_hero
8 of the 13 are from youtube-dl, 1's a text file, and there are a couple of others...
if you're asking about me, that library's on btrfs.
Erin
i think btrfs supports unicode
iconoclast_hero
i got to hand it to that scripting language, i hate using it, but every time I want to do something, I manage to accomplish it.
Erin
its always fun to get stuff done like that
one of my big problems with music is badly defined files, or converting types
i wrote some powershell command modules to wrap ffmpeg for that, and recently set it up to be parallelized
iconoclast_hero
Erin: here's my solution for that, though there's some info at the bottom to look at in the future
