Not as far as I know - But I would also love tat feature!

In the new release we made use of sort tags for sorting, but the plan is to make an option for it.

The error doesn't make much sense since the first messages says strawberry_lib.lib was generated, but later it says it "doesn't know how to make", do you have some sort of anti-virus removing or blocking the files? Does strawberry_lib.lib exist?
Please share the CMake command and full output with ``--log-level=DEBUG"`?

And I'm curious, why do you use NMake and not Ninja or Visual Studio 17? NMake is really slow.

The cause of this issue is that Strawberry does not find hidden album art in the album folder but amarok and clementine do.

I have taken the Clementine patch issued in 2012 and modified it for the current gentoo release of Strawberry and raised it as an issue on the strawberry github. https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1809

Strawberry stopped two times today, about 15 minutes apart.

@Sharky-PI adding info to this thread: searching the collection by
genre:microhouse
does find the example track, as does searching by
genre:clownpenis
So manual search works for semicolon-separated-subgenres, just not the GUI dropdown system.

I see this feature has been (re)implemented in Release 1.2.12. The Settings --> Collection menu now has an item to skip leading articles when sorting albums.
Thank you!!!
🙂

Switched the style to Fusion, looks great now.

See? If you just don't respond they'll solve their own problems.

Okay, well, I think I've made some config tweaks that have helped the SMB performance. The full collection rescan still takes forever, but it always did and that's expected. The update changed, however, is now as fast as it was on linux. That was the important one.

@jonas Many thanks. That is it.

The modification time of the files was being changed. However, the that of the directory under which they sat was not being updated. A "touch" of that directory, and then "Update Changed Collection Folders" works perfectly.

Thanks again.

In settings / Backend. Try setting output to WASAPI instead.
