MPDCenter feature requests

[Michael Horvath]

Some features that would be useful to me include:

1. print a list of author fields

I'll think of more later.

[Michael Heidemann]

It should not be a big deal to list all authors, that can be identified by the author tag.
Printing itself is not that easy if you want to have it user friendly. Therefore I prefer generating a plain text file with the author names for your request.

Edit:
A very simple list is now implemented. For every file the author is printed to the list. So there might be several times the same author.

[Michael Horvath]

That is great, thank you!

[Steffen]

it should be very simple to remove duplicates from that list...

[Michael Heidemann]

Of course, but as long as I do not know for what purpose this list should be I do not put any more efforts into this feature.

If it should be just only a list of authors that have contributed to the project - only the single names are needed.

But currently I do not know the purpose of the list and I hate to waste time.

[Michael Horvath]

I just need a list of authors so I can determine if I skipped over somebody when writing the credits list for Datsville. Showing only unique names would be nice, but I can trim the list using other tools just as well.

[Michael Heidemann]

As I just wrote in another post - the more detailed you describe what you need and for what purpose the more you can get a good result that you can work with.

So I go now for a "List of unique author names" and try to implement just this, so you need no further step to generate this list.
