Songkong updating composer field when setting set to only modify if empty

#1

I don’t know how long this behaviour has been happening, but I have noticed the following recently whilst using songkong v7.4:

  1. Album of FLAC files which already contain the correct composer metadata (NB: This is not classical)
  2. SK format settings “only modify these files if empty”: Composer is one of the selected fields
  3. Run SK and then reviewed the report which replaced the composer values for all tracks (in error)

So, I added composer to the fields that should never be added to or modified. When I ran SK again, it actually deleted the existing values!

I believe this may also be happening to other fields such as discogs album url.

In recent times I have mainly been processing new release albums, so SK rarely has composer values (hence, I have only just spotted this.)

I’m sure this never used to be a problem, and I haven’t changed my configuration, so believe a bug has slipped through the net!?

Quick note looking at your reports there does seem to be a problem, still working on trying to reproduce it myself.

Thanks Paul, just retested using the same Faithless album as before and can confirm composer credits were left untouched.

Regards
