correctly enumerate tracks from multi-medium albums

[calestyo]

Hey.

When having a album with multiple mediums (e.g. CD1, CD2, etc.), gmmp displays the tracks like this:

1. ...
2. ...
3. ...
...
1. ...
2. ...
3. ...


It would be nice if it could use the meta-data (if available) to display the medium-#, like this:
1-1. ...
1-2. ...
1-3. ...
...
2-1. ...
2-2. ...
2-3. ...


Or maybe in some other or a configurable format.


Cheers,
Chris.

%dn%-%tr%

[calestyo]

That's really neat.
I'm trying to do this:
["<weight=0.8><align=left><typeface=sans-serif><size=14>$if(%dn%,%dn%-)%tn%. %tr%", "<weight=0.2><align=right><typeface=sans-serif><size=14>%du%"]

But for some reason I don't get the hyphen, however when I use if(%dn%,-%dn%), I get the hyphen, but obviously in some undesired order (i.e. -<discno><trackno>.

Is there anything I miss?

Thanks

k looks like %dn%- gets treated as a number for some reason (and removed because 1- == 1). If you put a space between dn and - it will work:

["<weight=0.8><align=left><typeface=sans-serif><size=14>$if(%dn%,%dn% -) %tn%. %tr%", "<weight=0.2><align=right><typeface=sans-serif><size=14>%du%"],

it looks like i will have to put a literal variable for minus in a future update %minus% or %dash% similar to how there is one for %period% or %space%. Either that or something like $ascii(code) / $utf(code) where it would any valid ascii/utf character

edit: as a work around.. these 2 seem to work correctly

["<weight=0.8><align=left><typeface=sans-serif><size=14>$if(%dn%,$replace(%dn%%space%,%space%,-))%tn%. %tr%", "<weight=0.2><align=right><typeface=sans-serif><size=14>%du%"]

["<weight=0.8><align=left><typeface=sans-serif><size=14>$if(%dn%,$pad(%dn%,2,-))%tn%. %tr%", "<weight=0.2><align=right><typeface=sans-serif><size=14>%du%"]

pad is going to perform better but will break if you have a disc number greater than 9

Interestingly, it also doesn't work with – (U+2013 EN DASH) which is IMO kinda strange...

I think the $utf(code) would make much more sense... just don't name it that way, cause UTF(7,8,16,32....) is just an encoding of Unicode... maybe $u() or so.

i mean the function name is the not the important part
