Title: Should "hasvalue" work in "Create keywords from this expression"?
Post by: lbo on March 07, 2021, 07:26:46 PM

Hi,

to get a conditional hierarchy separator für "Sublocation", I tried
{File.MD.location|hasvalue:test}
but this emits always "test" even if location is empty.

{File.MD.location|default:test} works as expected: Emits "test" only if sublocation is empty.

Anything wrong with my attempt?

This expression
[{File.MD.location}]
{File.MD.location|hasvalue:test}
{File.MD.location|default:test}
gives me either
[]

test

or

[Studio FFM]
test
Studio FFM

depending on whether or not the XMP location tag has data. Looks OK to me.
Did you check the actual contents of the location tag? Maybe it contains a blank or another invisible character?

thanks for testing this.

I'm getting:

[]
test
test

and

[Neuhausen-Nymphenburg]
test
Neuhausen-Nymphenburg

respectively.

Maybe an error fixed after 2019.8.4 I'm still using.

I can work around it.
