@2E7AH : maybe because despite a part of off-topic (which I regret) we are still discussing about Lyrics Grabber ?Your initial point is a missing feature inside of foobar wich induced you to request a totally other feature in an special component." No : this is not true, because even if the "exclude search fields" feature was added to foobar someday, there would still be people interested in storing lyrics as separate text files, just like there are other people interested in storing artwork as separate picture files. It's their choice and we all need to respect that without asking them for their own personal reasons. So to sum it up : I would have requested this feature anyway , simply because it becomes very useful as soon as you have lyrics as separate text files.Do you at least see why the requested way of implementing that desired feature could result in lost usabilty and simplicity for newbies IMO "newbie" doesn't mean "complete dumb" : a single checkbox like "Store lyrics as separate text files and enable a %lyrics found% tag " in a prefs window (especially if it's unchecked by default ) would definitely not make Lyrics Grabber prefs any more complex for newbies. Come on, be realistic.i never used T.P. Wangs lyric_show_panel Well, you should. It has really improved over time and it has become a great component thanks to T.P's work. would you be satisfied with following... I would be satisfied with anything that allows me to do the 3 things I want in an easy way : - grab LiricWiki lyrics - store them as tags or as separate text files - add a tag (%found lyrics% or any other name) only when lyrics are being found and stored in separate text files (all these 3 things in batch-mode of course) So I'm trying to remain focused on the features and not in the way of presenting them. That is T.P's decision after all.A direct question to Peter or Foosion: Can we expect that foobar somedays is changing its search behaviour in queries in that sense that multiline fields are excluded from simple search? I second that idea , but it's off-topic here and like I've already said it would really deserve a separate "Feature request" topic to be more "visible". Don't you think so ? Besides, why only multiline fields ? An excluded search fields list in Advanced Prefs would be so much better !!Excluded search fields : LYRICS; UNSYNCED LYRICS; COMMENTS; LOG; (etc.) Now can we please stick with this topic's subject and go on with Lyrics Grabber discussion ? Thank you.
