Custom album disambiguation strings #410

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
In the process of importing albums, I often have multiple versions of an album, 
especially singles. Let's say Pet Shop Boys, Yesterday When I was Mad. I have a 
standard single, and a remixes single. The former imports fine, but then the 
latter reports a conflict because both are named "Yesterday I was Mad". The 
current options are:

(S)kip, (K)eep, (R)emove

Choosing Keep names the second folder "Yesterday when I was Mad 123" to make it 
unique. 

I propose a fourth option of "(R)ename". Choosing that option would list the 
contents of each album, and prompt for new names for each album. In this case I 
would leave the first as "Yesterday When I was Mad" or (default option if I hit 
enter) and I would rename the second to "Yesterday When I was Mad (Remixes)".

Interesting idea. This could probably be implemented by letting the user modify 
the existing "disambiguation" field and giving it priority in the %aunique 
expansion. Thanks for the idea.
