Comment 2 for bug 267650

I finally got around to trying this (sorry for the delay in answering).

Using the same file as in the original bug report, I found that:

1. Running 'pytags --set="title=Great Expectations - Orange Lady" 01.\ Great\ Expectations\ -\ Orange\ Lady.mp3' on the 'real' file now modifies the contents of the fuse mount correctly (i.e. the unwanted subdirectory dissapears). However, the id3 title tag of the file gets truncated to "Great Expectations - Orange La" (maybe id3v1 vs. id3v2?)

2. Changing the id3 title tag with another tool (in this case, id3tag) has no effect on the fuse mount. Then again, maybe this is by design, and only pytags can be used?

3. Acting directly on the contents of the fuse mount does not work:

$ mv 01-Great\ Expectations\ /\ Orange\ Lady.mp3 '01-Great Expectations - Orange Lady.mp3'

results in :

mv: cannot move ` Orange Lady.mp3' to a subdirectory of itself, `../01-Great Expectations - Orange Lady.mp3'

and .log contains the same message as before:

get_values_for_rename: old path and new path have differing numbers of slashes: /jazz/Miles Davis/Big Fun/01-Great Expectations / Orange Lady.mp3, /jazz/Miles Davis/Big Fun/01-Great Expectations - Orange

I will happily provide more information if required...
