Bug with Tag from Filename?

[roytam]

I have a file named "01 - KOTOKO - Face of Fact -RESOLUTION ver.-.ogg".
My tag recognition is "[track number] - [artist] - [track]"
When I tag from Filename this file, The tags are not placed correctly.

Tag become like this:
Track number : 1
Artist : Face of Fact
Title : RESOLUTION ver.-

But the supposed result is:
Track number : 1
Artist : KOTOKO
Title : Face of Fact -RESOLUTION ver.-

Obviously you can tell that the problem is the hyphen (-) used as separator. Your track title contains the hyphen as part of its own text, so the tagging mechanism will break that into fields as well since you defined - as the separator.

The separator should be a character that's not being used in regular text otherwise.

Change the name of the file and replace thhe -'s in the title portion with underscore _ and then teh taggig will be the way you want it.

Unfortunately if you have many files names in this manner you will have to do a lot of manual renaming.

My separator is a hyphen with two spaces " - ", but dMC TfF only take the hyphen as separator.

Well, just a character is what gets used I believe. Too complex otherwise. Blanks are usually a normal part of text.
