Details

I just started experimenting with the 'Export modifications' feature of the Rockbox database and have notice that some files included in the database in Rockbox are not being exported to the 'database_changelog.txt' file. Specifically, files with the following characteristics are being excluded:

[1] An ampersand (&) in the file path e.g. anything under the 'Punk & Ska' directory
[2] File names with non-standard letters e.g. '06 Bück Dich.ogg'

I'm experiencing this issue using build version r15960-071222 (no patches) on a Gigabeat F40. I've not tried the export feature before now, so I can't say whether this was a problem in prior builds. Thank you in advance for any support on this.
This task depends upon

Hi,
could you please verify if this is still a problem for you?
I just created a database_changelog.txt on my H300 with r17765 and songs with the following file paths appear in the changelog:
"/Musik/Demons & Wizards/Touched By The Crimson King/01 Crimson King.mp3"
"/Musik/Queensrÿche/Operation- Mindcrime II/01 Freiheit Ouvertüre.mp3"

But i think i have seen a similar issue where only songs that were played at least once appeared in the changelog and the others were missing. Could it be that you have seen this (and that they contained special characters was just a coincidence)?
I'm not yet sure how to reproduce it, though.

The db export (by design) only exports files that have "run-time" data such as rating, playcount etc. I am not aware of any difficulties with non-ascii characters of which I have lots.

I've since updated to r17211 and am still experiencing the same problem. The songs have been played and appear in the database, they just do not show up as part of the export file. It's literally hundreds of songs that are being excluded and the only thing they have in common is the use of special characters. I need to make some significant WPS changes before I can update to the newest version, as soon as I get some time I'll do so and report back.

Could you double check? I have just tried your example of '06 Bück Dich.ogg' and it works as expected. Enable runtime data collection, init database, play file once. Play it again to make sure it is committed to the db. Export database, check file is in there...
