Here's the last line from the logfile:

UCASE(LEFT(Artists.Artist, 3)) = 'DE ', 4, UCASE(LEFT(Artists.Artist, 3)) = 'L' ', 4, UCASE(LEFT(Artists.Artist, 5)) = 'HET; ', 6, True, 1)) ASC

Some mistyping with the "ignore prepositions when sorting " option, I think....
Ive removed the ";" character after HET and the script works.

I see that the sorting on prepostions is not ignored in the browsebyart window (The Beatles, The Beach Boys all sorted on T)

But no problem.

Thanks for the help and keep up the good work

Which node did you click on to see them sorted like this? The prefixes should always be ignored.

When the option "ignore prefixes" is checked the script isn't working with the browsebyart node (sorting on artist) and the artist node and results in the logfile ending I've posted above.
When the option is unchecked everything seems ok.
Maybe something's wrong here ?

I'm sorry but this works perfectly for me. Can you tell me what you prefix list is please?

I did some testing with common prefixes as "the" or "a" the script works perfect. Even a typical Dutch prefix "De" gives no problems.
I had some Dutch prefix '' 't" and I think that one causes the problem.
It caused no problem with the sorting in the common artist nodes.
Since it occurs only once in my database, I'll work around it.

Thanks anyway !

Love the script, using it right now to sort though albums with out album art. Is it possible to sort the albums by artist. I see a by letter option, i would like to see it further broken down by artist within that letter.

Thanks

Willvill

If you click on the Artists node then you get all the albums grouped by artists, is this not what you mean?

yes exactly is it possible to organize it that way when you click oh "browse by art"

Change the settings in Tools, Options.

First: Browse by Art is a great script, i use it in 95% to browse through my collection.
But there seems to be a problem when an Artist Name starts with a german "Umlaut". I have some Albums from a Band called "Die Ärzte" ("Die" is the German "The") But the band doesn't appear in the Artist Node. In the Album node the Albums can be found. So if i set the Sort Order to "Artist", no Album of this Band is listed. If the Umlaut is somewhere in the middle of the name, everything works fine.

Does anybody know what the option "Track mask" is for?

trixmoto · Post by **trixmoto** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:46 am

@Thollsten - I'll investigate this and try to get it fixed for the next version.

@Dieter - This is used when displaying the tracks in the "Playing" node.

Great, I see. Thanks for the answer.

There seems to be a small bug in the display of the "playing" window. At the left of each listed track a "-" sign is shown and if you click on it the corresponding track is deleted from the now playing playlist. If you then click a second time on the "-" sign of the same track another track is deleted from the now playing playlist (it seems the track having the same number). Only if you select the menu entry "view, refresh" from the MM menu the contents of the "playing" window is refreshed and the "-" sign is changed into a "+" sign which enables you to re-introduce the previously deleted song into the now playing playlist.

So it seems that refreshing the "playing" window when clicking on - or + does not work.

By the way, pressing F5 or using the refresh entry of the context menu does not refresh the contents of the "playing" window. Only the menu entry "view, refresh" works.

When you click a (-) icon it tells the script that a change has been made, but the page only checks if it needs to refresh every X seconds (in the settings) so it won't refresh unless you've enabled this.

Hitting F5 when focused on this view tells Internet Explorer to reload the page it is viewing, it does not tell the script to regenerate the page.
