According to Kovid, disk I/O errors occur because of an inability to access the metadata.db for read/write access. Typical cause might be that your database is on a mounted network drive. If that's not the case, please post more details about what you're doing when the error occurs. G Last edited by GRiker; 01-26-2010 at 11:07 AM. Reason: Likely cause: database on network drive |

Or use "CODE" tags which will make a scrollable text box within your post. CODE tags are inserted with the "#" button when in posting mode, and on the toolbar.

I certainly think that an option to have numerics treated as numerics for sorting purposes would be a good idea (in fact I think it should be the default). I cannot think of a case where I have numerics in a Title/SeriesName where I would want them sorted on the text equivalent of the numerics.

Those Alpha-Numeric values should (normally) sort properly because of the leading 0's 01 05 100 < wrong, 3 characters. Make all 3 characters to avoid 20 29 all sort correctly because the ASCII weight of a 0 is less than any other digit ![]() In the photo, the DC special should sort AFTER the numbers since the text before this point is the same.

mysticalinc: This failure occurs when there are no genre tags in your database.
Fixed in next release. G |

e.g. 2 is larger than 01 and 100 is larger than 0001. That would avoid having to include leading zeroes to get the sort correct. |

I'm not sure that part is working either. The pic shows some "The"s which don't seem to ignored.

banjomike: Fix implemented. The new approach only converts numbers to text equivalent if the title starts with a number, e.g. '1776: The Beginning'. Any numbers in the title after the first word are treated as numbers and sorted in digit order.
itimpi: I implemented a simple algorithm for numbers between 000 and 999 which will do what you're asking for in post #27. A more sophisticated implementation will have to wait until later. G Last edited by GRiker; 01-26-2010 at 03:47 PM. |
