Configuration file not working

Help
1

(im on windows) Basically my configuration file is not working. When i run the command “beet -config” it returns “Empty configuration”. So you would assume that i havnt set up a config file but i have. Running “beet config -e” opens up my config file which includes this:

directory: C:\Users\darcy\Music\beet
plugins: scrub ftintitle duplicates fromfilename
import:
move: no
copy: yes
write: yes
log: beetslog.txt

Would love to know whats going on so i am able to use the plugins, thanks.

Hello,

In your configuration file, you must indent (with 4 spaces, for example) the move/copy/write settings, because they belong to the import group, so it would look like

plugins: scrub ftintitle duplicates fromfilename
import:
    move: no
    copy: yes
    write: yes
log: beetslog.txt

Also, beet -config is interpreted as a -c flag (path to configuration file) with onfig as the configuration path (as beet --config=onfig). It’s unlikely to work. Just test with beet help (it should list your plugins’ specific commands, if they have some) and beet ls (which should return nothing when your library is empty).

Then you should be able to start importing !
