Win7 Attributes vs Mezzmo Attributes and Searching

[Paul]

Hi Larry,

Glad that works better now .

Yes - file path is the full file path (= drive + folders + file name + ext).

[larrymcg]

I think I have a case (that I manufactured for this test) that shows that a Mezzmo search does not include the filename. Here's the evidence:

There is one song whose filename is "12 Solar.mp3". I changed the file's Windows properties so that the Title is Solax. There are no other files with that title. I then maintained the library so Mezzmo would see the changed attributes.

A search for Solar fails (filename should be found). A search for Solax succeeds (as it should).

Here is the FFmpeg info from the file:

I've also noticed that a search for "mp3" does not find the many, many files with the mp3 extension. Similarly a search for jpg does not find the many files with the jpg extension.

So, I'm not convinced that a search includes the filename and extension.

Hi Larry,

You are right - file path is not included in Quick Search.

[larrymcg]

Thanks for the correction about file path. I was testing it because of info provided in an earlier post:

Hi Larry,

Quick Search searches the following fields: Title, Artist, Album Artist, Keywords, Album, File path, Tag line, Description, Keywords.

When I did a quick search for "mp3" it turned up 3 files which did not have an "mp3" in the obvious places. But I discovered the Description field and each of these had an "mp3" in them. I have never used the Description field as far as I know. These 3 files happen to be sample music provided as part of Windows.

Hmmmm.... Now I'm curious about the Tag Line property. I'll go investigate!

Cheers,
Larry
