Ignore "The" for sorting & general questions
Hi all,

I am completely new to MinimServer and currently trying to figure out how it works.

1)
So one option seems to be a good choise. I'd like to get "The Beatles" displayed as "The Beatles" - "Beatles, The" is confusing for me Angel
But nevertheless it should be sorted at >> B<< based on "Beatles" and not at >> T << based on "The".

So I tried this hint from the guide:
Quote:For example, you can use the option Artist.ignore.sort={The} to sort the Artist tag value The Beatles as if it were Beatles, The while showing it in the index as The Beatles.

I slightly changed it, so it should affect all sorting criterias.

Quote:all.ignore.sort={The}

But for any reason "The Beatles" are still sorted to >> T <<, not to >> B <<.

If I change the entry to
Quote:all.ignore.sort.index={The}
it is working fine, but it's shown as "Beatles, The".

Any idea what's going wrong there?

2)
And additionally, could it be combined with other commands like
Quote:all.ignore.sort.index={The}, Album.sortTags={Album, Artist}

3)
Maybe I missed it but: What happens if a new album is placed into a folder monitored by MinimServer? Is it captured automatically or is a manually triggered rescan needed?
