In my Picard preference, I have the "translate artist names" checked, and English choosen.

If I try to tag a release whose artist has english aliases, it takes the first one and not the primary one.

For instance, for Moby : http://musicbrainz.org/artist/8970d868-0723-483b-a75b-51088913d3d4/aliases Picard will try to tag with "DJ Moby" and not "Moby" which is the primary.

Sort Order:

Neither of those aliases are marked as the primary alias for the locale?

Hum, the "Moby" Alias was the primary, as http://musicbrainz.org/edit/17807924 shows, but, hum, for the sake of me, I don't understand why it's not any more...

Hmm. Buggy.

In any case, this is not a bug. When Picard was written, no such concept existed, so there's no way it could possibly support it. Picard needs to be updated to be able to support a whole lot of server features from the schema change.

Awesome, thanks Michael! Was about to fix last night before deciding it might jeopardize my travel plans the next day
