Advanced Report 6.4 - Updated 24/06/2014
Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
This implies that the script does not have write permission to the folder you are attempting to create the report in. You'll either need to chose a location Vista is not so paranoid about or again run MM "as administrator".

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
Excellent script ! I have created a list using the frames option. Only question is - it has an alphabetical list of album artists, with "various artists" grouped under V. Is it possible to remove "various artists" from here and have it in the contents section instead ? Thanks !

The album should be listed both under "Various Artists" and also under each of the artist names on the album, I believe.

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Currently, compilations (albums with "album artist" listed as "various artists") appear under "various artists" in the V list. I want "various artists" to appear separately at the top, with the rest of the alphabetical list (A, B, C, D....Z, Various Artists).
Ideally, in the top left frame, I would like artists from A to Z, and then below that compilations from A to Z. For example if you clicked on "D" under the compilations menu, then all compilations where album begins with letter D will apear in main frame.

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
Well this would complicate the way the script currently works greatly, but I'll certainly take a look and see if it's possible and try and get it into the next version.

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
Thanks a lot! At the moment, I have edited the HTML to put various artists up with the rest of the contents. I have split various artists into A-J, K-R and S-Z, though it would be preferable to have the whole alphabet. Too much work to do manually though !

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
I can filter to create my reports, but is there some way to take the "selected albums" as the criteria for a report?
Many times I select what I want, then say "advanced report", but of course then it grabs everything (based on the filter), not what I selected.

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
No, this is not possible because it builds everything using SQL. There's no SQL for "everything selected" unless I build a list of IDs and I think that would be extremely slow. You could put all the ones you want into a playlist though and create a filter based on that playlist.

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
Hi Trix:
I can't figure out how to customize these reports.
I can't find the Advanced Report anywhere in my MM3. Where can I find it?

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
Currently when I create a report, if an artist is in an album AT ALL, the album is listed as belonging to them - "Forrest Gump" is under Joan Baez.
Sure, it's 'right', but is there a checkbox or something to only put albums under album artists, rather than albums under artists?
I thought "only include album artists" would do that, but it still puts an album under them if they are an artist in that album.

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
No, there's currently no option to do this, although I could look at adding one.

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
Well, there is no harm in having it as an option. Can never have too many options

Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
One reason I'd like this is to be able to have a report containing all of my albums - but uniquely - when using artist, you get duplicates on any album that has multiple artists.
Re: Advanced Report 5.3 [MM2+3]
hey trixmoto,
do you plan to embed an option for sorting the report by fields?
i would like to use the genereted scripts for printing my library,
so it would be nice to sort the list for expamle by genre.
thanks in advance
