Jaikoz- Discussion Forum

Shift+Click does not seem to work on OS X. When I click on the IsCompilation flag, the selection does not change to this cell (it does toggle the flag's value). When I shift+click, the selection does not update either.

I can select a flag by using the arrow keys to move the selection into that column, and I can select a number of cells with shift+arrow-down. But it would be nice if shift+click worked.

Awesome. Thanks.

I really like the "Match songs to one MusicBrainz release" function. However, I want to process a large number of files. Selecting each album and running this is not feasible.

Would it be possible to tell Jaikoz that my albums are organized by sub-folder, so any song with the same sub-folder should be linked to the same MusicBrainz release?

So, after tagging, I am using the tags to set the Sub Folder and Filename (the new beefier functionality as great) and moving them to a completed folder. It has worked great until 2.5.2.

Now a good number of the files (say 20%) are not getting their Sub Folder set when moving. So they are all dumped to the base folder I am moving them to. When I watch Jaikoz during the save and move operation the Sub Folder field blanks out for these as well before they are removed from the table.
I can't discern any rhyme or reason as to why a particular file will fail or not, but it is usually an entire album, not just individual tracks in an album.

The save function works fine, it is only happening with the "save and move" function.

Looks like the latest version fixed it.
Thanks.

Just FYI - I tried it on the Development server and it returned nothing as well.

A couple of very minor problems I have noticed:
In the Mac version:
For some reason Jaikoz always wants to move with me when I switch desktops in spaces. Normally you have to click and hold the window when switching to bring a windw with you. But Jaikoz will come along randomly if it is the active window, or recently the active window, or anytime really. I don't know if this is Java or if you can fix this or what...

Option-A is usually select all. In Jaikoz it is Control-A.

It's back, but different.

I have an album Janet Jackson - All for You (Don't ask WHY I have it), only two tracks match automatically.
I open MusicBrainz for the matched release, pull the MB UID for the track "Intro" and add it to the appropriate track and fix tag data from that UID, so all track data should match the MB DB exactly.
I have unchecked "Possible matches must be within track duration" but the track is only 2 sec off anyway.
Manual Correct tags from MB returns no results.

I get similar results for most on the tracks in the album.

It looks to be fixed. Thanks.

Nope, I'm on mac.
It seems to affect all connections outside of Jaikoz. So it can't find the file system when trying to save, it can't even find it's preferences file when closing.

I am correcting tags from music brainz. I get through about 200 songs then I get an unexpected problem error:
java.lang.NullPointerException:org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentInfos$FindSegmentsFile.run(SegmentInfos.java:482)

Jaikoz no longer can connect to any internet sites, pull info from MusicBrainz, etc... until a restart of Jaikoz or if I wait a while it starts working again.

I like the new file renaming abilities.

A couple of questions:
What exactly does the "bestartist" tag do?
Is there any way to do an else with the new if statement? I want to be able to say if album is not blank do this, if album is blank do this other thing...

Also, it doesn't look like nesting if statements work. Is it possible to add this?
Here is what I am trying to do:
%genre%%folderseperator%$if(%album%,$if(%albumartist%,%albumartist% - )%album%%folderseperator%)

What I want it to do is:
If it is a single (no album field) drop it in the genre folder.
If it is a compilation (no album artist, or if it is Various Artist actually but that doesn't look possible) put it in the album folder.
If it is a standard album put it in the artist - album folder.

For now I will do:
%genre%%folderseperator%$if(%albumartist%,%albumartist% - )$if(%album%,%album%%folderseperator%)

And make sure there is never an albumartist without an album.

Cool. Thanks for for figuring out what the problem was.
I know how much it sucks to have to hack around problems with someone else's systems.

Have you considered adding support for their test search server mentioned on their blog.
I have no idea how much work that would be for you, but it would be cool to be able to try out the new system on the tracks I get bad results on.

Got another one (I'm still on the mac version).

How is the carrot entry supposed to work when you select a field in the table for editing?

Right now, if you double click a field it will switch to edit mode and highlight the text for a moment, then the highlighting will disappear and you are unable to edit the field. You have to click on the field again to insert the carrot, or double click to highlight the entire text.

I'm guessing when you double click on a field it is supposed to enter edit mode and highlight the text, so that any input will overwrite the entire field.

I downloaded the new version and I am still having problems. Another example:
I manually copied the MB Unique ID field and updated the tags from that, so all the tags should match the MBDB exactly and the song length matches. But when I run manual correct I don't get the song. The match scores that are returned are 55, 47, and 11. No MusicIP matches. The correct entry should be at least in the 90's and an 11 is beating it out?
The song is:
Artist - The Supremes
Album - The Supremes (disc 2)
Title - Falling in Love With Love
Track - 16
MB ID - 612a24b1-1575-4f72-8aab-a3b47b8ff3b5

I have edited the Match Score values, making Title, Artist, and Track No the highest importance.

BTW- I like the darker colors in the new Mac version (though I would still suggest highlighting the entire row is some way). And the fixes to selecting and editing fields in the table really help. Thanks.
