Ignore text patterns when comparing

Post by rosgr100 »

It would be really helpful if we could specify multiple text patterns to be ignored when comparing two file names or tags.

For example, music tracks with featuring artists are using different wording such as `&/feat./ feat /Feat./ft./ ft / Ft. / FT./, /` etc.


Thank you!

Hi, Again.

Is ignoring certain strings or text patterns somehow possible in the current version?

If not, is this a feature planned to be added in an update?

Thank you.

This isn't is the current version. There are new text comparison settings planned for version 6 which may cover this.
