Bug ID: 462188
Summary: "Arranger" tag only accepts a string with at least 2
'|' separated strings
Classification: Applications
Product: kid3
Version: 3.9.x
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: uflei...@users.sourceforge.net
Reporter: justinf7...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 153986
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=153986&action=edit
Example of tag entry with single arranger noted. In this instance, the method
to remove the error is to instead have the tag be "Arrangement:|noaon". The
"heading" is redundant, but removes the error.
SUMMARY
***
Entering data for the "Arranger" tag with the ID3v2.3.0 type metadata requires
a list of '|' separated strings. In concept this is fine, but if there is only
one arranger, then only one string can be inserted. If only one string is put
in without any '|' symbols, the field turns red to note an error and the
tooltip popup reiterates that the field must be a list of '|' separated
strings.
Entering one at the beginning or end doesn't work, since empty (and whitespace)
strings are truncated and it's reverted to its original state. Works normally
with songs with multiple arrangers or if you try a workaround where one of the
strings is a "header".
Most likely not discovered since the "Arranger" tag isn't used often and most
software (ie VLC, Elisa, Dolphin file manager) doesn't read and display it.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add the "Arranger" tag.
2. Enter any string without any '|' symbols (either through the "Edit" button
or manually entering it and hitting enter).
3. Save the file.
OBSERVED RESULT
The field turns red to signify that the field isn't formatted properly, as
described above.
EXPECTED RESULT
The field should be normal and without error since the intended edit was to
denote that the song only had a single arranger.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Files still save regardless of the state of the tag, so the bug is more
annoying than inhibiting.
