Summary0005113: Search not Available for Tree Node Comments
DescriptionIn Case of all tree nodes where Node properties make possible to add comments to specific Tree node (Location -> Media, Artist, Album, Composer, ...) there is no way to check/Search Comment fields for those Tree nodes in either Search or thru Scripting.

Scripting Example:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/SDBSongData#ISDBSongData_members already contain MediaLabel Property, but do not Contain MediaComment property Which could be very useful in this case.

Same thing goes for Album Comment which will/should be used in Auto-Tag From Web to Add comments for Whole Album or like in Composer Comments where some biography could be added or even for Medias where something like "Lent to: Rusty" would be useful. Especially as it could Speed up search and also make Mm library smaller due the fact that Auto-Tag from Web Album Comments are not Saved in each file from Album but in Album Comment instead.

There are both "Artist Comment" and "Album Comment" available in the advance search which works fine. "Artist Comment" returns tracks from both Artists and Album Artists which match the search. Comments of Composer, Conductor and Lyricist can't be searched though. Same thing with Media Comment.

But these COM objects are missing (and have been requested many times):
SDB.Artist.Comment
SDB.Album.Comment
SDB.Media.Comment

Btw, these CoClasses are also missing but I'm not sure if they ever will be used if implemented:
SDB.Composer
SDB.Conductor
SDB.Lyricist

I noticed that the pop tree menu displays a Properties menu for Genres, Years, Ratings (only for 5, 4.5, Bomb and Unknown) and also "Files to Edit->Unknown Rating". That should be removed since it does nothing.

1. It seams that No Comments search are affected in these tree nodes:
Composer
Conductor
Lyricist
Media

2. All bug noted Tree Node Comments are not available for settings in Tools -> Options -> Library -> Search Options

3. Script COM Objects Missing
SDB.Album.Comment http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/SDBAlbum
SDB.Media.Comment http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/SDBMedia

4. Complete Script COM Objects Missing (low priority)
SDB.Composer
SDB.Conductor
SDB.Lyricist

Thanks! :)
Regarding: SDB.Artist.Comment exist.
Actually it doesn't, see the Property description.
Not implemented yet.

You are right, I just tested in .1206 Build

And SDB.Player.CurrentSong.Artist.Comment is always = "" no matter it has value or not.

Script I used in testing:
----
Dim test
test = SDB.Player.CurrentSong.Artist.Comment

If test = "Test" then
  test = ""
Else
  test = "test"
End If
----

Reminder sent to: jiri

Is SDB.Artist.Comment dormant or not yet implemented so it returns value "" as result?
