Re: blog: remove leading filename portion (e.g. song artist)

Yes very nice to have examples of how to use this syntax, It'll shorten my blind trial and error method considerably.

Thanks.

Re: blog: per monitor DPI programming

Does this mean that I'll be able to open my video files from within X2 and they'll display correctly with VLN, instead of just a quarter of the screen as it currently does on my 4k TV. If I want a video file to open correctly I have to open VLN and launch the file from there. I've written this up be...

Re: blog: wireless file transfer

linking two pc's via LAN cable is a pain in the butt. I bought a NAS which I connected to my router, worls well for getting data to all devices, but it requires synching with primary repositry of data. There's also remote destop which works well and is reasonably easy to setup. I can wirelessly link...

Re: blog: change numeric ID3 tags en mass

What I am trying to do now (which should be more useful than changing years) is to teach declone to regognize similar music, that is find 2 similar versions of a song based on CONTENT (not tags). That could go even as far as detecting cover versions of an original song. Damn interesting and potenti...

Re: blog: change numeric ID3 tags en mass

for track # you can usually get away much simpler, using a counter to set tracks in increasing order Some folks prefer metadata Track numbers to be labeled with a leading zero and some prefer without, some prefer to retain artists integrity which can be with or without a leading zero. The standard ...

Re: blog: change numeric ID3 tags en mass

In all my years of editing 100's of GB of Music metadata I have never had the need to do that, I've never come across a artist who has labeled their music in a logical progression as you've described. I created many custom "Best of" Albums, the grind was to source the tracks realease date ...

Re: blog: change numeric ID3 tags en mass

so can they change e.g. a YEAR relative to its present value? Not quite sure what you mean by that. There are two ways of viewing music, Directory/folder view and by Metadata. Folder/directory title can be different to whats stored in the metadata. When using a dedicated Metadata editor the option ...

Re: blog: change numeric ID3 tags en mass

I use Mp3Tag and Foobar for tidying and mass renaming of ID3 metadata for my entire music collection, 32GB, and I have never had a issue with a tag being uneditable. Foobar I use to add Replaygain info to all my music.

Re: blog: test covid tests

What astounds me about all the information that you guys have found and linked to is that not one of you has mentioned possible treatments for preventing or curing CV-XIX, now, why is this?, why is it that there's very little to no information on preventing CV-XiX ?, Western media does its best to d...

Re: blog: test covid tests

(even rapid tests require a painful poke up the nose, and i'm not having my little kids treated that way for no reason) Yep its astounding that they haven't developed a method of testing that is less intrusive, why not a little pin prick of the finger. When I was doing my obligatory 6 monthly medic...

Re: blog: test covid tests

Problem is that the symptoms for the common flu are very similar to CV-XIX's so the dilemma is if one is feeling flu-ish does one get tested ?. Then considering that the tests are unreliable and considering that the fatality rate for under 50's is as much if not less than with the traditional flu, w...

Re: are you a ribbon or menu person?

are you talking about the standalone VLC getting restricted like that? That would be very strange No, only if the video is launched from within X2. If I launch the video file from within VLC its normal. if you tweaked xplorer2 shortcut icon properties for compatibility, try to undo them and see if ...
