Extrafiles and item-fields multidisc not working together

[paulmcrules]

Hi, just wondering if anyone could help me fix this.

So I had extrafiles working perfectly but when adding item_fields in, it stops copying the files over. As soon as I comment these two lines out it works again. Do you think there is a fix or will I just have to lose one feature and go with the more convenient one?

Here is the part of my config file which deals with both:

extrafiles:
    patterns:
        all: ['*.log', '*.cue', '*.m3u', '*.LOG', '*.CUE', '*.M3U']

paths:
    default: $albumartist/$albumartist - $original_year - $album%aunique{} [$media] [$format $samplerate $bitdepth-bit] ($catalognum)/%if{$multidisc,Disc $disc/}$track - $title
    singleton: $artist/$title [$media] [$format $samplerate $bitdepth]
    comp: VA/$original_year - $albumartist - $album%aunique{} [$media] [$format $samplerate $bitdepth-bit] ($catalognum)/%if{$multidisc,Disc $disc/}$track - $title
    albumtype_soundtrack: Soundtracks/$original_year - $album%unique{} [$media] [$format $samplerate $bitdepth-bit] ($catalognum)/%if{$multidisc,Disc $disc/}$track - $title

item_fields:
    multidisc: 1 if disctotal > 1 else 0

I am running beets from linuxserver docker image:

beets version 1.6.0                                                                                   
Python version 3.11.6

Without looking too much into the issue: maybe try copyartifacts instead? I had a lot of issues with extrafiles, all of them were solved when I moved.

[gtronset]

@paulmcrules did you get an error when running or did it just not copy? I suspect this occurs because extrafiles has a limited subset of available fields and might be failing when it tries to calculate the $albumpath with inline. I'd also guess that you'd run into a similar issue with copyartifacts as it has its own field limitations and handles path renaming in a way that I don't think will accommodate inline.

That all said, I did just confirm that inline works with filetote, which you could easily convert your config to use by following these instructions.

[paulmcrules]

I can't remember how I fixed this before but am now using filetote like you suggested and using move instead of copy and also added a load of file types to clutter. My other thread: https://discourse.beets.io/t/help-with-config-file/2420
