Description Jonathan 2009-12-01 17:07:38 UTC 
Version:           2.2.0 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When using the "Guess Tags From Filename" feature with a pattern like "%album - %title" on a song with a title like "Final Fantasy VII - Chocobo Theme (Salsa Remix)", the tags will be populated as:

Title: Chocobo Theme
Album: Final Fantasy VII

instead of the expected

Title: Chocobo Theme (Salsa Remix)
Album: Final Fantasy VII

Similarly, an artist with a '-' in its name will not get parsed properly. For example, the pattern "%artist - %title" will parse "Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Carol of the Bells" as:

Title: Carol of the Bells
Artist: Siberian Orchestra

Please upgrade to Amarok 2.2.1 available in the Kubuntu backports PPA, this should be fixed already IIRC.
Comment 2 Jonathan 2009-12-01 19:16:55 UTC 
This was not fixed by my upgrade to 2.2.1.
Comment 3 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-12-01 19:26:59 UTC 
It should be fixed if you do a full collection rescan, then restart Amarok. Please try again.

By "Full collection rescan" I assume you mean "Tools | Update Collection". I did that and restarted the program, but the Guess Tags From Filename feature is still displaying the same incorrect behaviour as before.

No, absolutely not :) Go to the Settings menu -> Configure Amarok -> Collection -> Full Rescan Collection. The restart Amarok

Update Collection does only check if there are new entries.
Comment 7 Jonathan 2009-12-01 20:05:00 UTC 
This was not fixed by a rescan. However, one of my other problems was.
Comment 8 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-12-01 20:18:01 UTC 
OK, thanks for the feedback.
Comment 9 Daniel Dewald 2009-12-18 20:41:06 UTC 
This Problems should be fixed in the current Git version as the Tag Guessing algorithm was fully rewritten and is now internally based on regular expressions. Please either test the Git version, the current beta version or wait for the soon upcoming Version 2.2.2.
Comment 10 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-12-18 21:05:30 UTC 
OK, closing for now. Feel free to reopen this report if you can reproduce it with the upcoming Amarok 2.2.2
