ID3v2.3 deleted on existing files (1 Viewer)

[Nautilus930]

Hi there,

when editing files with existing ID3 Tags, the ID3v2.3 Tag is deleted all the times. I have configured MPTT to use the v2.3 Tag.
Using the settings I have noticed the following:

• I cannot unmark any options in the section ID3-Tag

• Changes are not saved. The options I marked are shown, but after restart they are gone

MPTagThat.Core.MPTagThatSettings.xml looks like this:

<Setting name="ID3V2Version">3</Setting>
<Setting name="ID3Version">1</Setting>
<Setting name="RemoveID3V1">False</Setting>
<Setting name="RemoveID3V2">False</Setting>

Cannot find any settings for the section "On change" except for the remove options.

Kind regards
Oliver

Can you post a file in question?
I'm storing all my files in 2.3 format and don't have any problems

Test files attached (before and after). It happens every time, not only with some files.

It look like that you have set the option to ONLY save to ID3 V1.

This is the setting:
<Setting name="ID3Version">1</Setting>

It should be:
<Setting name="ID3Version">3</Setting>

Then it'll save a ID3 V3 Version.

Your original file was an ID3 v4 version with a lot of TXXX user defined frames in it and you saved your changes only as ID3 V1.

Use the Settings below:

First of all, thanks for your quick help.

The file might not have been the best example. The tag has been written by MusicBrainz Picard. That explains the large number of TXXX frames. But I have changed the settings in Picard some time ago, so that Picard is writing 2.3 Tags and there is no difference with MPTT.

The settings I use are the ones you see in the attached picture. The problem is that I cannot change them via the UI. I can mark every radio button but not unmark them. Anyway it does not matter what I select, the config file is not changed.

So the real problem is that the settings are not working.

Kind regards,
Oliver

Upps. You're right. That is a mistake. Didn't notice it.

Change it manually in the Config file, until i have found time to fix it and released a new version.
Open the "User Files" folder, i think ou know where they are, cause you posted already some parts pf the xml.
Open the file: MPTagThat.Core.MPTagThatSettings.xml

Make sure that the following lines look like this:

<Setting name="ID3V2Version">3</Setting>
<Setting name="ID3Version">3</Setting>
<Setting name="RemoveID3V1">False</Setting>
<Setting name="RemoveID3V2">False</Setting>

this will cause your files to be rewritten with ID3 2.3 Tags.

Yep, that worked.

Thanks for the help.
