Bugs in Chapter' s Editor?

[Biff]

There seems to be one or more bugs in the Chapter's editor.

For example:

dragging flac to chapter' editor (dragging cue file does not work)
adding numbers
marking track 10
clicking "Add chapter"
add a new time
save "Cue, placed..."

In the playlist the new cue causes the track within that new cue to get the name of the next track. And some tracks or the next one or the edited track is messed up after the edited track in the playlist or not playable or so. And when I copy the playlist entry to an old playlist of the same album, the error is copied as well.

Saving as plain text removes the original cue? Could Aimp automatically make a copy before overwriting / removing the original cue?

When one clicks the numbering option, could the original numbers of the original track be kept somehow? And not be changed when new chapters are added? So the chapters would get and a., b. or such? Or an additional numbering?

Could one just load a single track in the Chapter's Editor (instead of the entire album) when there are one big flac file (no single tracks) and a cue sheet?

Share the track, please.

Of course, you can make a file backup if you needed.

When one clicks the numbering option, could the original numbers of the original track be kept somehow? And not be changed when new chapters are added? So the chapters would get and a., b. or such? Or an additional numbering?

In this case, you can add the numbers to chapters titles manually.

Could one just load a single track in the Chapter's Editor (instead of the entire album) when there are one big flac file (no single tracks) and a cue sheet?

Of course no, you cannot create sub-chapters for the chapter (already splitted part of big file).

Thank you very much!

Share the track, please.

Ah, sorry, forgot to mention, it happens to every single big flac / ape file containing all the tracks with a cue. The cue file always somehow gets messed up and / or the playlist (after dragging the cue over one and / or dragging an edited track from one to another playlist).

Please, provide step-by-step instructions how to reproduce that.

Yes, this really is what I did:

dragging flac to chapter' editor (dragging cue file does not work)
adding numbers
marking track 10
clicking "Add chapter"
add a new time
save "Cue, placed..."

When I now drag the cue to a playlist and drag the edited track, respectivel the new chapter to another playlist it does not work properly. And the name of the new chapter has the name of the following track in the playlist.

So, I've tried but failed to reproduce an issue:

All according the order in chapters editor:

[Biff]

Have you tried dragging (copying) the new track 11, made in the Chapter's Editor, from a playlist with all the (13) tracks, so including the new one, to the playlist containing the (unedited 12) tracks of the album?

[Artem]

to the playlist containing the (unedited 12) tracks of the album?

If you've changed the CUE that is already used, you must reload file tags in playlist. In other case, metadata will be updated as soon as the track was played

[Biff]

So when the cue is overwritten with a new / changed cue by the Chapter's Editor (after having added a new chapter / track or more) the other old playlist with the tracks not being edited in the Chapter's Editor will be changed / adapted to the new cue when the not edited track in the old playlist is played?

[Artem]

the other old playlist with the tracks not being edited in the Chapter's Editor will be changed / adapted to the new cue when the not edited track in the old playlist is played?

Yes, sure.

Not edited:





Edited:





changed / saved cue dragged to new playlist:



New track / chapter 11. has wrong title, I would think. Should be the same as track 10.

There are two different track numbers for the tracks after the edited one.

The old playlist (unedited), renamed, dragged to Aimp:



11. Unconditional Love (For You) missing
and

Old, renamed, playlist dragged to Aimp:


Double clicked the track 10, then track 11, then 12:



One title missing. Track 11 has wrong title.

Track 12 "Long road..." missing.

Opened flac again:



I have entered "--- 10. Tango [Raul Midon]"



After dragging the playlist to Aimp the change is not in it. Is that like it should be?



Generally there seems to be anything wrong with adding the cue points manually. So when one enters a time in the most right column the cue are not set according to the inserted times. I entered different times (decreasing the last three digits, e.g. ...520, 420, 320 or increased them by the step) to hit a special point / cue but the cue does not change accordingly, e.g. it kept staying at the same place when playing / trying the changed cues. In other words, I enter different times, but the cue point (when playing) keeps staying at the same position or suddenly jumps too far. So for this track I cannot change the position of the cue like I want it.
