Help on my rename script?

[gelat]

I am in the edit panel, and I am both tagging and renaming here (set to update both). I am NOT using the rename template in the bottom right corner, as I need it to be dependent on the tags in the file. The problem is that I'm not sure what command updates the tags and then renames the file, as I seem to get one or the other. I'm not sure when to use tg_update, tg_apply, tg_refreshrow or gtag.savefile. Help?

Please test the following script on some test folder it should work OK.
Make sure 'Filename' is selected on the drop down box of the update button

Code: Select all

Program MainEditor;

var
  i: integer;
  sTmp:string;
begin

  if not tg_init then exit;
  i := 1;
  sys_SetStatusText( 2, IntToStr( tg_GetRowCount ) );

repeat
  tg_LoadFile;
  sys_SetStatusText( 1, IntToStr( i ) );
  sys_SetStatusText( 3, gTag.Filename );

  gtag.extrafieldsremove;
  gtag.Comment := '';
  gtag.language := '';
  gtag.Composer := '';
  gtag.publisher := '';
  gtag.copyright := gtag.year;
  gtag.encodersettings := '';
  gtag.URL := '';
  gtag.Encodedby := '';
  gtag.Lyrics := '';
  gtag.OrigArtist := '';
  gtag.OrigYear := '';
  gtag.bpm := '';
  gtag.discnumber := '';
  gtag.mediatype := '';
  gtag.sortalbum := '[' + gtag.copyright + '] - ' + gtag.album;
  gtag.conductor := '';
  if gtag.genre = 'Pop/Rock' then gtag.genre := 'Rock';
  if gtag.genre = 'Alternative' then gtag.genre := 'Rock';

  gTag.ClearPictures; // remove any existing
  gTag.LoadPicture( ExtractFilePath( gTag.Filename ) + 'folder-600.jpg' );

  if UpperCase( gtag.album ) = 'SINGLE' then begin
     gTag.sortalbum := '';
     gtag.track := '';
     gtag.AlbumArtist := 'Various Artists'
     sTmp := gTag.Artist + ' - ' + gTag.Title;
  end else begin
     gtag.AlbumArtist := gtag.artist;
     sTmp := gTag.Track + ' - ' + gTag.Artist + ' - ' + gTag.Title;
  end;

  //Update tags
  gTag.SaveToFile( 0, false );
  //set filename
  tg_setField( 'Rename', tg_setField( 'Rename', sTmp + '.' + gTag.FileExt ); );
  Inc( i );

until not tg_skip;

tg_Update; //trigger the update button ->Select Filenames only
  
end.

That worked. Thank you!

Ia there a way to modify this so it works when BOTH is selected? Right now it only works on FILENAME, which causes manual global tag edits on the right panel to not work.

You can try this one it will basically update the grid and set it ready for the update, it will however remove the 'extra' fields and update the picture directly in the file beforehand

Code: Select all

Program MainEditor;

var
  i: integer;
  sTmp:string;
begin
  if not tg_init then exit;
  i := 1;
  sys_SetStatusText( 2, IntToStr( tg_GetRowCount ) );
  repeat
    sys_SetStatusText( 1, IntToStr( i ) );
    sys_SetStatusText( 3, gTag.Filename );

    //work directly on the file
    tg_LoadFile;
    gTag.extrafieldsremove;
    gTag.ClearPictures; // remove any existing
    gTag.LoadPicture( ExtractFilePath( gTag.Filename ) + 'folder-600.jpg' );
    gTag.SaveToFile( 0, false ); //Update tags

    //work in the grid
    //set tag fields
    tg_setField( 'Comment', '' );
    tg_setField( 'Language', '' );
    tg_setField( 'Composer', '' );
    tg_setField( 'Publisher', '' );
    tg_setField( 'Copyright', tg_getField( 'Year' ) );
    tg_setField( 'EncoderSettings', '' );
    tg_setField( 'URL', '' );
    tg_setField( 'Lyrics', '' );
    tg_setField( 'OrigArtist', '' );
    tg_setField( 'OrigYear', '' );
    tg_setField( 'BPM', '' );
    tg_setField( 'Disc', '' );
    tg_setField( 'MediaType', '' );
    tg_setField( 'sortAlbum', '[' + tg_getField( 'Copyright' ) + '] - ' + tg_getField( 'Album' ) );
    tg_setField( 'MediaType', '' );
    tg_setField( 'Conductor', '' );
    if (UpperCase( tg_getField( 'Genre' )  ) = 'POP/ROCK') or (tg_getField( 'Genre' ) = 'ALTERNATIVE') then begin
       tg_setField( 'Genre', 'Rock' );
    end;
    if UpperCase( tg_getField( 'Album' )  ) = 'SINGLE' then begin
       tg_setField( 'sortAlbum', '' );
       tg_setField( 'Track', '' );
       tg_setField( 'AlbumArtist', 'Various Artists' );
       sTmp := tg_getField( 'Artist' ) + ' - ' + tg_getField( 'Title' );
    end else begin
       tg_setField( 'AlbumArtist', tg_getField( 'Artist' ) );
       sTmp := tg_getField( 'Track' ) + ' - ' + tg_getField( 'Artist' ) + ' - ' + tg_getField( 'Title' );
    end;
    //set filename
    tg_setField( 'Rename', sTmp + '.' + gTag.FileExt );
    Inc( i );
  until not tg_skip;

  //comment out if you want to do some maunal editing or use the template and do the update afterwards
  tg_Update; //trigger the update button
end.
