CD-Ripper introducing leading space?

[Ludwig]

Hi there,

CD-Ripper seems to introduce a leading space wenn I use Programmable or Dynamic Naming. My naming algorithm looks like this:

[IFCOMP][album][IFMULTI] - CD [disc][]/[track] - [artist] - [MAXLENGTH]50,[title][][] [IF!COMP][IFVALUE]composer,[IFVALUE]album artist,[composer]/[album artist]/[MAXLENGTH]50,[album][]/[IFMULTI]CD [disc][]/[track]- [MAXLENGTH]50,[title][],[composer]/[MAXLENGTH]50,[album][]/[IFMULTI]CD [disc][]/[track] - [artist] - [MAXLENGTH]50,[title][][],[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist]/[MAXLENGTH]50,[album][][IFMULTI] CD [disc][]/[track]- [MAXLENGTH]50,[title][],[album][IFMULTI] CD [disc][]/[track]- [MAXLENGTH]50,[title][][][][]


There are no leading spaces in the tag fields but in the resulting folder hierarchy the topmost folder name has a leading space.
E.g. If rip a -non compilation- CD with the following tags
Composer: "Johann Sebastian Bach"
Album Artist: "Nikolaus Harnoncourt"
Album: "Famous Choruses from Sacred Cantatas"
title: "Cantata No. 147, "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben," BWV 147 (BC A174): Chorus: Herz Und Mund und Tat und Leben"
I get the following result string: " Johann Sebastian Bach/Nikolaus Harnoncourt/Famous Choruses from Sacred Cantatas/01- Cantata No. 147, "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben,_", which has this unexpected leading space.

What am I getting wrong?

Regards,
Ludwig

Check on the naming editor that there is no space before the very first [IFCOMP] and that the path setup to rip to has no space on the end.

Also ensure you are using the latest version of dBpoweramp.

Sorry, forgot to mention that sofar I run R16.8 under Catalina.
Thanks for the advice, Spoon. I did as you said. There was no space before the very first [IFCOMP] and the path setup to rip to had no space on the end. I then downloaded the trial version of R 17.3, used it, and the leading space disappeared. I find it sad that as a happy user of R16.8 I am forced to upgrade not for a new feature but for a bug fix. Or maybe I am misunderstanding something here?

If you are ripping CDs then R17 is very much needed for the recent external metadata provider changes:

Re: CD-Ripper introducing leading space?

The extra space does seem to come from your pattern:

...[][] [IF!COMP]...

It appears that updated filename sanitization behaviors of R17 remove it, but you don't really need R17 work around this.

Thanks again for the hint. I just bought R17.

Re: CD-Ripper introducing leading space?

Thank you very much. I stand corrected. I checked for the space before the [IFCOMP] but not before the [IF!COMP].
