Description mlchatnoir666 2023-11-06 22:02:27 UTC

SUMMARY
Hello, I've been trying to tag the music of an artist called UN|T, but from what I understand, the "|" character gets replaced with a null field separator.
I'm not sure if there's a way to avoid it and I'm unaware or if it needs additional development.



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to enter any artist name containing an "|" in the Artist or Album Artist fields

OBSERVED RESULT
The sting gets parsed as two separate names.

EXPECTED RESULT
It stays as one artist

Thanks for the report. Sorry for the inconvenience, I thought that it is very unlikely that "|" would be part of a tag value. I have now added support to escape such characters. You just have to enter "UN\|T" for this artist. You can find a development snapshot kid3-git20231110 with the fix in https://sourceforge.net/projects/kid3/files/kid3/development/.
