> And the other thing is: if I’ve loaded a release in to tag, once it’s been recognised and is over in the right panel, with files matched, I can click the release title, i.e. the line with the rollout arrow on the left, and see the releases general metadata in the metadata panel, but if I select an individual track, the metadata panel is completely empty, with no information about the track from the release, or the file that’s been matched, and no title column for the metadata fields.

About this issue, it is due to missing `$album_all` / `$album_max` in a script you have in the Picard 2 config, probably provided by a plugin (from [Determining whether condition applies to multiple files - #5 by outsidecontext](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/determining-whether-condition-applies-to-multiple-files/505506/5)) which isn’t available (yet) on Picard 3, but it reveals a robustness issue: it should not prevent display of the metadata box.

I have a fix for the robustness issue, but not for the script or plugin.
