Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
Hi, not sure if this is a bug or deliberately altered functionality:
In the latest update of MMW5 (5.0.3.2627),
when I am editing properties of music files,
it no longer offers a drop-down of auto-complete suggestions, of all values already in my library.
This was a very useful feature for ensuring consistency of tag values and avoiding typos.
I'm on Windows 11, 64 bit (fully patched)

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
Autocomplete works for me on latest version 2627 using Windows 10, in both List view and in Properties window.
For testing, I delete the existing entry for a track, and began retyping it. The list pops up right away, and allows me to select the completed entry. Works in artist and album fields, but not in the "Title" field.

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
I have a similar Problem,
Some values existing in the DB are not shown in the Properties.
I'd tagged all VA Album-Artists as "Various Artists", but MM only shows the singular, that is nowhere in the DB.

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
You can start with trying to rebuild the database. Auto-Complete should have all values in the Library and no values not in the Library and it works like that for me.

Note that both people with the issue are on Windows 11 - any possible link there??

I have my folder monitored all the time and I don't have any problems of this kind.
Difference: I use Windows 10.

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
Thanks for the hint with DB rebuild... that is the first I try, when strange things happen in MM.
The DB lookup works fine in the extended search.
As you describe, only existing values appear.
But in the Properties, only non existing rubbish is offered.

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
I have to correct myself (thanks Martin):
The values shown are actually in the DB (not rubbish).
In the album artist selection not only the existing album artists are used, but also the artists.
Very strange:
When I write new values in one of these fields, they are all correctly added to the selection.
Except.... "Various Artists" (Pl.)
(The DB is for testing at the Developers)

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
Sounds like https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19178 already fixed in the latest 5.0.4 alpha, can you confirm ?
Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
Yes, the Various Artists are there again.

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
Um, I don't think the subsequent comments on this thread are necessarily the same issue I was experienced.
I have autocomplete of tags working fine in the list view, it's just that it no longer happens in the Properties dialog.
There's no 'missing' tags in the list view.

Hi,
Are you using latest version from https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 86639&sd=d I am unable to replicate in both inline edit and in properties.
Can you tell me what field is missing Auto-Complete?

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
Yes I am using the latest one, I always have auto update notifications enabled, and it was only after the most recent update that this happened
It's all the fields!

Re: Autocomplete of field contents no longer happens?
Not all fields have auto-complete. Is just those tags which have a down arrow. What happens if you press one of the down arrows?
What version are you running (see via Help>About)
MM5 default is not to show you beta versions, so maybe you are not on the latest.
Check yout setting of the IncludeBetaBuilds option at Tools>Options
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.
