beets-tcp / titlecase-proper
----------------------
Adds a template function `%tcp{}` that titlecases
strings better.
Why?
----------------------
The beets builtin template function `%title{}` uses `str.capwords()`.
This causes issues with strings that begin with a character that can't
be titlecased:
> It's Raining Men (instrumental Version).flac
`str.title()` does a better job but causes issues with strings like
"It's" instead:
> It'S Raining Men (Instrumental Version).flac
This plugin takes care of both issues.
Additionally, custom words can be added to the plugin section in
beets/config.yaml that will be returned as-is:
```yaml
tcp:
asis: [
'PhD',
'DJ',
'TCP',
'YodA',
]
```
which can render:
- **DJ Madfist the Invincible TCP Guru │2024│ Got Myself an PhD in the 313 (Deluxe YodA Edition) [MP3]**
Installation
------------
```bash
$ pip3 install titlecase
```
Replace all `%title{}` functions with the shiny new one:
```bash
perl -i.old -pe 's/%title{(\$[A-Za-z_-]+)}/%tcp{$1}/g' config.yaml
```
Add this script to the beets pluginpath:
```yaml
pluginpath: ['/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/beetsplug/',
'/home/scp1/dev/beets-tcp',
]
```
Add the plugin to the plugin list and configure it:
```yaml
plugins: [
'tcp'
]
tcp:
asis: ['foo', 'Bar', 'TCP']
```
