A7 bug: Common <Album Artist> not appearing in props

Post by peter_h »

To reproduce:

1) Select two tracks from different albums, where both have the same Album Artist value (e.g. "Various Artists").

2) Press Shift-Enter for the Properties dialog

RESULT: The AlbumArtist field is blank, so the Properties dialog has not recognised that the tracks have the same value and has not displayed the common value.

Currently evaluating a migration from MM4 (4.1.31.1919 on Win7 SP1/16Gig RAM/intel) to MM2024 (latest Debug version on Win11 24H2/16GB RAM/intel)

**If you're wondering why I'm still on MM4: It still has more useful-to-me plugins; and I prefer the GUI's responsiveness, panes spreadable over multi-monitors flexibility, and predictability (all coz it's more Windows-native). I also hate "flat design" for its visual inefficiency. For me, MM4's benefits are still > MM5, and MM5's downsides < MM4. There still appears to be way less MM5 plugins -- even after all this time. MM5 docs for plugin developers seem very undeveloped to me -- which makes me uninclined to invest into learning how to improve MM5 for my own wants.

Thanks for the reply Jiri. It's great to know that you guys are listening. And encouraging too, even if it's just a quick "acknowledged" response. It's always easier to assume someone else will take the time to report an issue, so it's nice to feel like the time it takes is worthwhile.
