Increase number of (contributing) artists

[AlexK]

Hello!

I wanted to increase the number of artists which can be handeled by Asset. The default 4 is not sufficient for Jazz or Classical music.

In the file "MediaDatabaseFieldsv4.txt" I changed t_artist,3,INTEGER to t_artist,20,INTEGER. After restarting Asset an a "Refresh All" still the number of artists which are recogniced are 4.

Is there a way to increase the number of contributing artists?
I did not find any answer in the forum.

Thank you!

It is hardcoded into the code, so it is not possible to increase.

Any chance to change this in a future revision? Is a strong limitation.

Not currently as it significantly slows down performance.

I still believe this should be a user configurable option with the default being 4 (for all multi-value tags). Advanced users with faster CPUs can then experiment with the optimum settings. I hope this can be implemented at some point.
