Using the most current version of the plugin via wine on osx 10.11.4 (current foobar), I can't get to the configure window anymore. It just never renders - it acts like its about to switch windows, but nothing ever pops up. On the last official release, I can still get to the window.
I'm having the same OAuth and pin generation errors as other have mentioned as well.
Thanks

I have the same problem with wine in Ubuntu 16.04.

The problem begins with the version that promise to remember window position. Official release and previous development version works OK. At least I'm not alone with this problem.

Thanks for pin-pointing which version it is that introduced this bug.

Problems with OAuth are likely problems with SSL (eg. unsupported version by Windows XP; perhaps WINE has a problem with it too).

Odd that the OAuth tab on the dialog won't load for you. Here's a build with remembering window position disabled, but with the latest changes to the Configuration dialog (additional Parsing tab). Does it work here?

It does !!!!  8)

The problem with authentication in my case has been fixed with the update to ubuntu 16.04

Thank you very much for taking extra trouble to fix problems that are not your fault in principle.

A big hug for you

Hmm.... This sounds like perhaps a problem in WINE (or my Win32 API abilities). What I'll do is disable saving window position for the configuration dialog and keep it for the others.

Updates:
* Fix rare bug parsing box set vinyl track positions
* Fix above problem in WINE

With this version seems to happen the same with update tags and update art options, the rest works ok

Sounds like possibly the windows are opening but off-screen? Could the locations be being misinterpreted by Wine in some way?

Possibly. It's a strange situation ... when I press alt + tab I can partially see the button to close the windows but I find it impossible to select them.
On the desktop appears absolutely nothing.

Can you type Alt+Space (which usually gets up that menu from the top-left corner of a window), then down arrow (which gets you to the Move option), then Enter?
Then try using the arrow keys to move the window back on to the screen? (Try this with a visible window to see how it works)

I've tried multiple ways, with alt + space, with alt + f7 or f8 to move them or resize them, I have even tried different window managers (Compiz, metacity and mutter), but without success.

They are like ghosts ... Untouchables  :P

This one seems to work for me. The first time I clicked on 'Authorize' in the discogs OAuth dialog, I got an error, but it still brought up the correct webpage and then everything worked.
Thank you

Heya.
another odd one, this:
https://www.discogs.com/Digital-Mystikz-Urban-Ethics/release/2585657
produces this (constant, CD version of the same works with the same files to-be-tagged):

(FATAL) Error: Error loading release 2585657: Error parsing discs/tracks

Zoomorph, thank you again for this great plugin. I have two minor problems and perhaps you could advise me…

1. I normally only use your plugin to get album art, not for tagging. That's because the Freedb tags usually have less errors so I just go with Freedb for the tags. For this reason, I always have every tag set not to write in the settings, so no tags will be written.

However there are of course times when I do want to use Discogs for tagging (like when Freedb has no data for an album). This means I have to go into the Edit Tag Mappings and turn on all the tags I want each time, then turn them back off again afterwards. That's a little bit of a nuisance. I was thinking that this would all be so much easier if you simply made a new button next to "Write Tags" which said "Download Album Art Only".

2. My second (minor) problem is this: lately I have been ripping a huge amount of CDs and using your plugin to get the album art for them all. The trouble is, it can be very slow waiting for all the art to download. I can't do anything while the art is downloading so I have to just sit there and wait. It would be SO much quicker and better if I could start a new Discogs search while the art was still downloading for the last album. Or alternatively if I could somehow "queue" the art to download it all later.

By the way, is there a better way to download album art other than to use Discogs? I heard great things about Biography View and tried it, but just couldn't get it to download album art no matter what I did - Discogs seems so much better.

The track positions are entered as what what written on the release, not following the standard logical structure. When parsed logically, they mean something quite different. It will never be possible to handle these cases. The only way around it would be to edit the database with logical track positions (in this case: A1, A2, B1, B2, etc).

This one might be better suited for batch work: https://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/
I've used that program before but I didn't know there was a way to automate it from within Foobar? Do you know how this can be done?

Biography View is not an option!
By the way, I have just tried using the Biography View plugin once again (to download album art) and this time I got it working - but I found that it is useless compared to Discogs, for three reasons:

1) With Biography View, you have to download all images individually and tell it where to save each one!
2) It only provides 2 images and no back covers!
3) Worst of all, the images are only 300x300! I find that shocking! What use are the images at that size? They're no more than thumbnails. (And I thought Discogs images were low res!!)

In other words, I appreciate Discogs all the more now. If only it had a button for "art only" instead of tags, and it could download art in the background… I would be totally happy :)

It will never be possible to handle these cases. The only way around it would be to edit the database with logical track positions (in this case: A1, A2, B1, B2, etc).

The difficulty here is that the tracks are clearly credited on the sides of the three EPs as 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b (it's a three-disc "LP" that collects three distinct 12" EPs). So I can see why people are not keen to rename them as sides A, B, C, D, E, F.

I have edited the release as 1-A1, 1-B1, 1-B2, 2-A1 etc. The logic would be that the numbers before the hyphens are the disc number (a la multiple CD releases), and after the hyphens are the side and track numbers a la individual vinyl tracknumbers.

Just tried and the tagger had no problem with them like this.

Hi zoomorph,

f2k v1.3.10, component Compiled: Apr  9 2016

I have no steps to reproduce this, but it happened sometimes (very rarely), after tagging a lot of albums.

After working quite a lot of time, suddenly, I cannot use the shortcut SHIFT+D, nor can I use the "Write Tags..." menu entry, because its greyed out. (see screenshot)

BUT there is NO popup or any window open from the component.

Because the created DUMP from the Process Explorer Tool is about 1.6GB, I created a mini dump, which I can send you via mail (or upload the 1.6GB dump anywhere, if needed). Just tell me, if you want to explore this, or just ignore this report ;-)

Of course, after restarting f2k, everything is fine again...
