Bug ID: 386011
Summary: Erroneous duplicate authors
Product: tellico
Version: 3.0.2
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ro...@periapsis.org
Reporter: jssalesm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Authors are not kept separate under certain circumstances.
I have a book collection that has an additional field, "As By".
Authors are entered under their real name and the "As By" field is filled with
the actual name as it appears on the book, real name, variation of real name or
pseudonym, it's always filled. I do this as some authors in different fields
come up with the same name on their books even though they are different
people.
To duplicate this bug, do this:
1. Create new book collection.
2. Add field "As By" as a text, formatted as name.
3. Enter first book: "Title 1" in "Title", "John Q. Author" in "Author" and
"John Author" in "As By".
4. Enter second book: "Title 2" in "Title", "John Author" in "Author" and "John
Author" in "As By".
5. Right-click on "Author, John Q." and filter by group. Only "Title 1" will
show up.
6. Right-click on "Author, John" and filter by group. Both titles will show up
even though only "Title 2" should.
(It still shows that "Author, John" only has a single title in parentheses
but 2 show up)
When you group by authors, it shows that each one only has one book (as it
should) but filtering shows 2.
When you group by <people>, it shows 2 books in "Author, John" and 1 in
"Author, John Q.".
More fun:
7. Add "Title 3" in "Title", "Johnny Author" in "Author" and "John Author" in
"As By".
8. Right-click on "Author, John" and all 3 titles show up (even though it shows
only 1 book by each author).
Still more:
9. Add "Title 4" in "Title", "Jonathan Author" in "Author" and "John Author" in
"As By".
10. Right-click on "Author, John" and only the three titles with first names
beginning with JOHN show up, the JONA does not.
Appears to be distinguishing by only the first 10 characters of a string
somewhere (or 11 including a separator?).
