I think, this would be a nice feature, too. But for consistency it
should work in all places this way, where we use wildcards for import
(but this is the only place, or not). And I'm not sure, which impact it
could have, e.g. maybe somebody use the brackets in the filename.
What about %<wc0>%<wc1>...
as long as we don't use %%, each %-one-char combination is interpreted
as a group.
Madonna - Ray of Light.mp3
%a - %t%i.
resulting in:
Artist = 'Madonna'
Title = 'Ray of Light'
Cut Description = 'Ray of Light'
%a-%t%i.
resulting in:
Artist = 'Madonna '
Title = ' Ray of Light'
Cut Description = ' Ray of Light'
Madonna - Ray of Light % Radio Edit.mp3
%a - %t%%%i.
resulting in:
Artist = 'Madonna'
Title = 'Ray of Light '
Cut Description = ' Ray of Light'
(Check the spaces inside the quotation)
I know, these use cases are a bit artificial, but I think our wildcard
interpretation should be somehow robust to strange cases.
I would guess, somebody, who didn't care about the cut name, doesn't
complain, if the cut name is set to cart title automatically. But for
people who care about the cut name, it's annoying, that they can't
controll it. I would still say that my suggestion from the last mail
should be the default behavior.
Best,
