(This release did not work for me until I added PLUGIN_API_VERSIONS = 0.9.0 to the plugin file, below PLUGIN_VERSION = '1.0' - Grab an edited version here)

Comments

Luks, I think there's a bug in the Disc# plugin. If you use the following in taggerscript with the plugin enabled, you get more than you'd expect...

$set(album,%album%$if(%discnumber%, \(disc %discnumber%\)))

Ought to give:    ThisIsAnAlbumTitle (disc 1)
Instead, you get: ThisIsAnAlbumTitle (disc 1) (disc 1)

• Would it be possible to write a plugin that would fetch and set the year to the earliest release's release date when a EarliestReleaseRelationshipType exists? -AaronCooper (2007-07-11)
  • Seconded. I'd like to be able to name files like "Artist - OriginalYear - Album (releaseyear re-release|remaster)"; I like things to be sorted by original year (ie, the musical "period" of the band), but differentiate between versions (sometimes I have several). So is it possible to retrieve the metadata for a linked object?

• Is there a reference somewhere with all the commands possible with Picard plugins (like webbrowser2.open(url, …) ? -- jesus2099 11:59, 07 August 2007 (UTC)

• Just the existing plugins, and the source itself. -- BrianSchweitzer 19:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

• Just a quick request, if it can't be a built in variable... I could easily make use of a %tracklength% variable, be it built in or generated by plugin. -- BrianSchweitzer 07:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
