[SOLVED] tagValue Artist.merge does not work with certain tagUpdate file?

[zym1010]

Thanks. I just tried it. The issue is non-composite Artist tags are now gone...

At any rate, since I can edit my tagUpdate file quite flexibly, there's no hard blocker here for me. But a better documentation on these options will be much appreciated.

aliasTags = Artist:nil
alphaGroup = items=1000
.autoUpdate = false
contentDir = /share/Multimedia/iTunes_Lib/St. Matthew Passion
indexTags = *RecentPlayed, Favorite, Rating, Artist, Date, Genre, All Artists,
Group, Composer, Ensemble, Conductor, Performer, #AudioQuality, *RecentAdded
itemTags = ArtistIndividual
serverOptions = indexArtwork=all
tagFormat = Title.displayFormat={$title^$rating^ [^]}
tagOptions = Artist.ignore.sort={The, Sir}, Album.sortTags={Artist, Date}, Conductor.ignore.sort={The, Sir}, Performer.ignore.sort={The, Sir}, Ensemble.ignore.sort={The, Sir}
tagUpdate = /share/Multimedia/iTunes_Lib/MinimServer/tagUpdateDebug.txt
tagValue = Artist.merge={ArtistIndividual, Conductor, Performer, Ensemble}
writeTagChanges = /share/Multimedia/iTunes_Lib/MinimServer/tagUpdateChangesDebug.txt

It does the following:
1) Ignore the composite Artist tag in the file
2) Add Conductor, Performer and Ensemble tags using tag update
3) Create Artist tags by combining ArtistIndividual tags in the file with tags added by tagUpdate
