Make friends with $caps() and $replace(). :)

$caps(%title%)					  - capitilises words in the TITLE tag
$replace(%title%,'(','[',')',']')   - replace all ()'s for []'s in TITLE tag

Obviously you'll want to change %title% to whatever tag you want to fix up.

OK, :wacko: could someone make these scripts for title,album and artist.

PLS i tried but cant do it :cry:

Should just be to replace %title% with %album%,%artist% seperatly. If you meant all three at the same time I think you cant do it. Think you need three separate ones. But then again, I am no code-wiz regarding this.

You could actually combine all of them into one big string.

$caps($replace(%artist% - %album% - %title%,'(','[',')',']'))

pink floyd - the wall - another brick in the wall (part 2)

becomes:

Pink Floyd - The Wall - Another Brick In The Wall [Part 2]

I hoped an answer from you.

But i dont know how to make this script :rolleyes:

Could you explain it (notepad save as mds file?) :wacko:

what font are you using in your playlist there? I have looked after a font that looks like that..

Well it's not my screenshot so I can't be sure, but that looks a lot like Calibri... size 8 & bold. It's one of the new Microsoft fonts that come with the Vista betas I think.

Need help how to use this string :rolleyes:

tOta: Here's the way I got that particular script to work:

Playlist right-click>Tagging>Edit Tags

Under Actions to perform click "Add"... choose "Guess values from other fields"

Enter Source format:

$caps($replace(%artist% - %album% - %title%,'(','[',')',']'))

Guessing pattern:

%artist% - %album% - %title%

Don't know if there's an easier/faster way but this does work.

nop doesnt work just adds new value example,

%artist% - %album% - %title% = $caps($replace(%artist% - %album% - %title%,'(','[',')',']'))

Only thing that works is when you change only the title by code that shannon posted :)

But you can add 3 actions (artist,title,album) and it will do the work ;)

Thank's, but too late, I've already figured out it was Calibri size 8 & bold :p

My fooby (much of the code is based on Brumal's config) It's 0.9 RC, so no Album Art etc.. :(

Are you sure you used "Guess values from other fields..." and not "Format value from other fields..." ?

I swear it worked for me... :) I'm at school at the moment so can't try again, but I'll double check it as soon as I get home.

    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).
