* Add custom output formatting via a format string to InfoPlugin. The command
accepts a formatting string via the "-f" parameter, which is handled by its
CommonOptionsParser and applied during print_data().
* Modify the emitters in order to include an Item into the list of fields, that
is formatted according to the format string if specified.
* Add an argument to allow the user to choose if track lengths are displayed as
raw floats or using a human-readable form (mm:ss), defaulting to human-readable
form.
Should fix#1433. The problem now was that we were freeing the string memory
that Python expected to be managing in a string object held by the `uri`
variable. Now, we do a silly dance to copy the memory out of the buffer
returned by the library and return that instead.
- Use a marginally more realistic example in the changelog.
- The -- convention is actually not the purview of shells; it's just a de
facto standard for command-line parsers. Fortunately, argparse supports it
out of the box.
* Add changelog and query.rst documentation entries for the usage of negated
queries.
* Cleanup NotQuery class as suggested during code review (PEP conforming
docstring, clarification on empty clause match behaviour).
This avoids some round-tripping problems with types (such as ScaledInt) that
are not represented in strings with 100% fidelity. It also makes the syntax
nicer when editing numbers and booleans: they no longer appear to be
needlessly surrounded by quotes in the YAML.
I hadn't quite realized before that the user could also change the *keys* to
be non-strings too! This also prevents against that by just reinterpreting
everything as strings.
* Revise the NotQuery syntax, replacing the '¬' character with '^'. Fix tests
to conform to this change, and cleanup the PARSE_QUERY_PART_REGEX.
* Modify parse_query_part() docstring to mention the negate parameter on the
returned tuple, and added an example.
* Add tests to NotQueryTest for testing the results of using queries with
negation.
* Fix issue on test_dbcore due to the modifications on the tuple returned by
parse_query_part (the number of elements was changed from 3 to 4).
* Update the negation query sintax so that the negation prefix ("-" or "¬") is
always the first part of a query, instead of after the ":" separator.
* Modify queryparse, so that the detection of the negation is done inside
parse_query_part() (using the modified PARSE_QUERY_PART_REGEX, and returning
the negation flag) instead of construct_query_part.
* Revert the prefixes dict on beets.library to the original dict (only one item,
with the RegexpQuery prefix).
* Modify NotQuery so it subclasses Query instead of MutableCollectionQuery.
* Update instances where NotQuery objects are created on tests and queryparse,
as NotQuery expects a single Query as a parameter to the constructor instead of
a list of Queries.
We now ask for a trinary edit/apply/cancel confirmation *after* showing the
updates. This lets you decide whether you're done based on a "preview" of the
changes and keep editing if they don't look right.
* Add support for user friendly "not" operator in queries without requiring to
use regular expressions, via adding NotQuery to beets.dbcore.query.
* Update the prefix list at library.parse_query_parts() and the query parsing
mechanisms in order to create a NotQuery when the prefix is found.
* Add two TestCases, NotQueryMatchTest as the negated version of MatchTest, and
the more generic NotQueryTest for testing the integration of the NotQuery with
the rest of the existing Query subclasses.
