This version of the (renamed) _print_obj function uses introspection to
determine whether we're printing an Album or an Item. It's like function
overloading for Python! 😁
This is fixed by allowing MediaFiles to convert strings to integers on
assignment. An eventual complete fix will perform these type conversions in the
Item interface.
- Copying and moving are mutually exclusive. Moving overrides copying so the
user only has to add one line ("import_move: true") to disable copying and
enable moving in its place.
- Deleting is only possible when copying.
- Deprecating the "delete" option (moving is almost always better).
- Removed command-line switch for moving. It's somewhat "unsafe", so this
removes some potential for accidental irreversible changes.
- Changelog & thanks.
- Update docs to refer to import_move instead of import_delete as the
correct solution for ending up with only one copy of the file.
The new fields are:
ALBUM: mb_releasegroupid asin catalognum script language country albumstatus
media albumdisambig
TRACK: disctitle encoder
These are not yet parsed from MusicBrainz responses (just added to MediaFile
and the database).
There's no longer a distinction between Unix and Windows substitutions. Enough
users reported problems with Windows-forbidden characters on Samba shares that
it seems appropriate to make all filenames Windows-safe, even on Unix. Users who
really want those additional characters (<>:"?*|\) can re-enable them via the
"replace" option. Nobody has complained about beets being *too* conservative.
This also adds sanitization of control characters, which is an all-around good
idea, and the substitution now runs in the Unicode (rather than byte) domain.
Previously, there was just an "artist sort name" field -- now there's a
corresponding sort name for both track artists and album artists. I also made
the names shorter (artist_sort and albumartist_sort).
