TagsRevisited 0.4.10.4 schizophrenia

[schpoorky]

I hate to complain about a free program, but there is something very wrong (at least on my computer) with the latest version of the otherwise great TagsRevisited.

Several columns in the main display think they're someone else. For example, Track thinks it's track length instead of track number, Artist thinks it's Title (song title), and Year thinks it's Album. And there are two Genres columns, one which thinks it's the Year and the one which correctly shows Genres. There are more split personalities, but you get the idea.

In the right hand editing panel, everything is fine -- data in the correct fields.

These problems are there in files I haven't changed with Tags and on files I have.
BUT, many of the files I change with TR, when I go to look at them again, have developed a nasty X:Gap (usually saying 407). They still play, but it's really not a good thing...


So far I've tried restarting the program and, since I installed on top of an 0.4.6 install, deleting all the directory files and reinstalling. Then I uninstalled through control panel and re-installed. I haven't yet restarted the computer, but I doubt that's the solution here anyway.

There's one column that gets enabled/disabled depending on your usage, which would be the File Path column. If that column is hidden, but the display code doesn't know it's hidden, it would probably output it in the list, shifting all content by one column.

Have you tried switching the "Recursive" mode? I couldn't really trigger this behaviour by switching, resizing the window etc., but maybe it'll help you.

As for the gap: even though it is displayed in red, it's not really a bug usually (I should remove that red at some point); it's the amount of bytes between the tag at the beginning of the file and the beginning of the music data. Two possible reasons here are: TR does not detect the music data correctly, so there actually would be no gap; and depending on the type of tag, it might use "padding", which is a range of unused bytes to have the music start in a defined place to spare some players seeking to find the beginning.

Thanks, P.K.
I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to my own question here in a month. And I should also pledge to at least do this much in thanks for years of use of your excellent programs: donate $20. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the peace of mind you and your team have given me and easily millions of others -- I really mean that.

Anyway, unfortunately nothing has improved on the TR problems. If there's any way I can get it to generate some output or other data that would help you assess what's going on, I'd be happy to. I'm clueless with programming, but I'm a pretty expert user of programs and Windows.

Meanwhile, I decided I'd upload a couple of screenshots-- you might be able to spot something if we're lucky.

As you can see, I'm abusing my FTP access at this open source RPG project I work at (yeah, that was a shameless plug... you can probably get, like, $10 more out of me as penalty for plugging on your board).

Hmmm... at first I thought that there was some mixup of columns, but now that I see the screenshot: I notice that the list header does not include the column "Duration"... could you please go into the folder where TagsRevisited is installed, open the subfolder Languages, and delete the file English.fal there, then start it again?
If the duration column is new, an outdated language file migdt do just that, and deleting it will cause it to be recreated anew.

As for the player, bass.dll seems to be missing (probablly also Gen_VisDrawer.dll) in the installer package, my fault :fear: I've attached the two DLLs to this post, could you please try to put them into the TagsRevisited folder as well?
