Hello,
I use winXP and mp3tag 2.43. I want to edit the format string (Alt+1) and this causes a "Schwere Ausnahmefehler":
**How I found the error:**
I always name my mp3 files like that:
(%discnumber%-$num(%track%,2)) %artist% - %album%
Now I have audio books with more than 9 CDs, so I wanted to change discnumber also in two digits. By doing this I cause an error, I can easily reproduce. Single steps see below:
**Scenario:**
1. mark all files to be renamed
2. Menue: Konverter - "Tag - Dateiname" (also Alt+1) or from the toolbar.
3. edit the entry (%discnumber%-$num(%track%,2)) %artist% - %album%
(it already exsists, as I have used it before):
I start typing at Pos1, behind the "C" and edit:
($num(_%discnumber%-$num(%track%,2)) %artist% - %album%_
then I move the cursor behind _%discnumber%_
There I would like to add _,2)_ to get a two digit cd-no.
When I type **,** mp3tag stops ("keine Rückmeldung" in TaskManager).
It needs some seconds, then the encl. error message occurs.
Remark: It has nothing to do with the length of the string, as it can be caused also by editing a shorter one.
Although mp3tag asks to restart, there's no need to do this. After the error is confirmed, the string can be edited and also works.
($num(%discnumber%,2)-$num(%track%,2)) %artist% - %album%
Unfortunately I haven't been able to upload error.log or message, here are the texts:
