Problem with ATF (Advanced Title Formatting)

[winamped]

Hi, all. Thanks for the great work on this, DrO et al.

There seems to be a bug in the latest Jan 12 Preview Build with regards to the titles displayed on the Playlist Editor. I don't know if it's because I improperly formatted it. This is what I have.

Code: [Select]

[%album% - ][%track% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))
And it seems to work, but then, a few hours later, I get a bunch of Syntax errors showing in my Playlist Editor,

Code: [Select]

[SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING (8)](see attachment)
and when I go into preferences, I see that the ATF string has been cut down for some inexplicable reason. i.e., instead of the above, it will just show "[%album% - " for the string.

Thanks, hope someone can help.

It's not an issue I've seen & there's nothing obvious I can see which would be causing the formatting string to the altered especially not for it to be clipped unless there's some 3rd party plug-in or quirk in the timing of the atf processing that's somehow modifying it (not that it should vs the working copy it uses to avoid such issues). What build were you using prior to the January one which was behaving?

Thanks for replying.

The ATF was working fine on v1_99_44_23410_x86, but went wonky on January's build. I don't know if the length of the playlist matters or not (it was almost 2k in songs). The problem may have been about illegal characters, since almost all the songs were from youtube (converted through 4k Video Downloader+), and you know what weird funky characters/emojis get added to titles on YT. But that same playlist was fine on 23410 though.

I'll play through my other playlists over the coming days and see if any of them are alright. Will report back the results.

Just wanted to chime in that I also have this issue. It used to happen occasionally but now it seems to be happening quite frequently.

i'm currently on 1.99.47.23960 Public. But it has happened on the Jan builds as well as earlier ones. Closing and relaunching seems to fix it for a bit and then it will show up again. the ATF settings have always been the default for me.
