Rule based mapping question

[exec]

Hi!

I've got a question abount rule based mapping in the converter.
Following scenario: I some (not all) of my FLAC files have a custom tag "albumversion". When converting to MP3, I want to put this album version in the "album" tag so that it looks like "<album> (<albumversion>)" - see the brackets?

My custom rule for that is

IF ALBUMVERSION=[anyvalue]
SET ALBUM=[album] ([tag]ALBUMVERSION[])

This works as expected if the FLAC file has this cusom tag "albumversion".
But when it doesn't have it, the converter puts the (empty) brackets in the "album" tag. Looks like the if-condition is not evaluated correctly here.

Any idea how I can prevent the converter to put in the brackets when the FLAC file doesn't have an "albumversion" tag?

Bug confirmed.

Furthermore, CoreConverter.exe crashes, when some unknown commands are entered in the rule based mappings window.

Give an example please.

I've tried it with

DELETE [composer]

Don't know if "delete" is a valid command here, it was just a try. Then when hitting convert, it crashes.

Odd it does not crash for me, DELETE is not a valid command though.

Re: Rule based mapping question

Are the commands mentioned in the DSP help file the only valid ones?

Yes

The initial problem still exists in 14.1.
Any info when this shoud be fixed?

Re: Rule based mapping question

I could not get it to crash passing invalid rules, so cannot determine the bug. For now I would advise not to use an invalid rule.

Re: Rule based mapping question

No, I meant the problem in my initial post, where the converter puts the empty brackets in the album tag when there's no albumversion tag.

Re: Rule based mapping question

It is a bug in the DSP effects which are separate to R14, do not have a fix time right now.
