2250 - Exception "illegal characters in path" - Artist Tag

[Uwe]

Hello,

because you can't sort by Artist, i created a Custom Tag "ZZ_Artist" and copy the Artist tag using Tag Preset: ZZ_Artist = %artist. You can sort by ZZ_Artist.

For example, if the tag Artist is named as follows: The "Best" Singer and is to be copied to "ZZ_Artist" using the Tag Preset: exception. The problem are the quotation marks. No problem when copying if the tag Artist is defined as follows: The 'Best' Singer. I send a video via Skype to Daria and Katerina

Regards, Uwe

Thank you Uwe! Unfortunately, this is a very specific issue in a scenario which is rarely used. Kate will test it out, but we will not be able to register it with the highest priority. I can suggest you using CSV export\import as a temporary workaround. 

 

Kind regards
