Album title rename issue [#21151]

[vegright]

Using 3043.

From main GUI, if you select an album title and go into rename mode (either single clicking it again, or F2) and <Ctrl-C> the selected album title. Now click on album art of another album. This will cause the first track of that newly selected album to have the album title changed to the copied album title name.

If you wish to change the Album Name of multiple files, I would suggest using the Left Panel Media Tree.

For example, using the Entire Library or Music Node, you can drill down by selecting the artist and then album. With the album selected / highlighted then press F2... Keep an eye on the status bar a it can take a few moments to complete then refresh the display.

I use this a lot for Genre e.g. "HipHop" and "Hip-Hop" to "Hip Hop"

Hi vegright,

Thanks for the report, but I'm unable to replicate. Here's what I've tried:

1 Navigate to Music [Browser view]
2 Click on an album in the tracklist
--> Album popup opens
3 Press F2
--> Album name becomes editable
4 CTRL - C
--> Album name changes to 'Heartaches3'
5 Click another album
--> Album popup opens
6 Right-click the first track in the album popup > Properties
--> The album name is unchanged (as expected)

I also tried this in other in the Music [Grid by Album view], and was unable to replicate.

Can you elaborate on what you're doing to replicate this?

Thanks!

I am not too familiar with the different views. I tend to stick with "List (by Album)" view. Sorry, I should have specified. This happens with and without column filtering enabled.

Before copy, select track and click on album title of that track (in this case first track of "Frequency Unknown (Deluxe Edition)"):


Hit F2 or click again to enter edit mode. While everything is still highlighted, <CTRL-C>. Then click another album.

After clicking other album (in this case "Frequency Unknown").


As you can see, the first track of "Frequency Unknown" was moved to "Frequency Unknown (Deluxe Edition)"
