Find Missing The 3.2 [MM2+3]

[trixmoto]

Um, probably!

Both "Find Missing The" and "Fix Trailing The" already handle both the artist and the album artist.

[civiliza]

On a side note, is it posible to just have this script update the artist and album artist fields?

My guess is what the Guest (and myself) would like is a way to limit the fields the script updates to just the Artist and Album Artist.

Also, is there a way to limit the output of the confirmation window to just the files the script wants to change? Having just cleared the 10,000 track mark, the thought of trawling through that many entries to see if the script wants to change the likes of Pink Floyd's Animals album into The Animals is just too daunting.

[trixmoto]

Both of these are now on my list for the next version.

I can not find the option for "Find Missing The" in my menu.

I have installed the script correctly, I am running MM 3.2.1 whit AdvancedDuplicateFindFix.3.6.2 Lyricator / SongPreviewer and SqlViewer.2.4 on Win7 64bit
And the option is not available in the "Choose Tree Nodes" option

The script should appear in "Tools > Scripts > Find Missing The".

Just installed and tested this script. Got "You have no such artists in your visible library" message, however, when I cross checked with Tagging Inconsistencies->Persons->The Inconsistencies I found I had quite a few. e.g. (The) Afghan Whigs.

[trixmoto]

This script was one of my very first, and not nearly as sophisticated as the TI script. It'll be the brackets which are stopping my script from finding them.

[Owyn]

No brackets. I have both "The Afghan Whigs" and "Afghan Whigs" in the database.

[trixmoto]

Oh I see! Not really sure then, been a long while since I've looked at this script. The list of "the"s is hardcoded at the top of the script...

Code : Tout sélectionner

Dim theList(3)		'this number must match the largest item number
theList(0) = "The"	'add more lines like this one for more words
theList(1) = "Der"	'the fewer words you have the faster it will process
theList(2) = "Die"
theList(3) = "Das"

I assume you haven't changed this at all?

[Owyn]

It's a virgin MMIP. Will take a look at code later. Not a big issue as I check AMG for 'proper" coding before I change any of the the values. I can do it just as easily from TI.

[remmer]

Maybe I'm doing something stupid but I've installed the .exe and I can't find any access to the script, it's not listed in tools>scripts?

[trixmoto]

Assuming you're using MM3 you should be using the MMIP, not the EXE.

[remmer]

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant

[trixmoto]

You've probably got a duplicate of Scripts.ini in your VirtualStore then.

[remmer]

Yeah that's fixed it, thanks!
