Request

Hello Robby, and list readers

First, as usal, thanks again for tellico, which I use nearly daily
currently to store my numerous CDs, DVDs, Comics, ...

Concerning CDs, I'd have one request:
Do you think it's possible/easy to add a new function. I'm importing my
CDs from the media itself. Thus the cover picture is never put in place.
I'd like to update just that (and also potentially the Amazon link which
I also do not get), but not the rest of fields, as I already pass a lot
of time normalizing them, compared to what CDDB provides.

Does it sound useful to others ?
Feel free to give me a pointer to the portion of code that I need to
hack to help myself, if you don't think it's interesting for you to do
it.

Greetings,
Bruno.

Right-click on entry -> Update Entry->Amazon

Yes, I did that. But it also updates all the other fields, which I don't
want as I try to keep them clean. Especially Title. Would it be possible
to have an option to update only fields not already filled when using
that menu entry ?

Best reagards,
Bruno.

Did you have the
Settings | Configure Tellico... | Data Sources | <amazon or whatever source you are using> | Modify... | Updating from source should overwrite user data
checkbox cleared?

Yes. It's cleared. And indeed it doesn't "overwrite" data, but "append"
to them.

That's unexpected. It appends to the title? Can you give me a specific
example for a CD so I can test and fix that?

Thanks,
Robby

OK, I fixed the merging to not combine field values. Did you have your title
field set to allow multiple values? I think that may have been what was
going on.

Yes. I forgot to mention that. I have most of the fields in fact set to
allow multiple values (including title)

Thanks for the fix, I'll try as soon as possible.

[ Completely forgot to answer to that one]

Yes my Title allows multiple values.
I re-test that feature with the latest SVN of yesterday, and it seems
that now nothing is imported at all. So at least it doesn't break my
setup, but I need to look closer to see whether the disk is found
through Amazon e.g. or not, and then some values such as Image imported.

(My process up to now is to use CDDB to inititate the entry in tellico
and try to complete with values coming from Amazon and other sources).

Greetings,
Bruno.

CDDB lookup was broken until tonight. It's something I was working
on...evidently, the cddb signature calculation changed, and I didn't realize
it...

Yep, indeed the CDDB feature is working again. However, I'd like to
understand how you make the various queries during the Update query, as
my try to get the cover for Toto IV e.g. didn't succeed with all
sources.
