**Note**: The *+* sign after the field name *track* which indicates that the field value should be increased after
a file has been processed.
**Note**: All specified values are assumed to be UTF-8 encoded, no matter which encoding has been specified as preferred encoding via ``--encoding`` option. (This mentioned option only affects the encoding to be used *within* the tag.)
## Text encoding / unicode support
* It is possible to set the preferred encoding used *within* the tags via CLI option ``--encoding`` and in the GUI settings.
* The CLI assumes all arguments to be UTF-8 encoded (no matter which preferred encoding is specified).
* The CLI prints all values in UTF-8 encoding (no matter which encoding is actually used in the tag).
* *Windows only*: The GUI can currently not handle non-ASCII characters in file names under all locale settings due
to limitations of the C++ standard library provided by mingw-w64. However, German locale and umlauts work.
## Build instructions
The application depends on [c++utilities](https://github.com/Martchus/cpp-utilities) and [tagparser](https://github.com/Martchus/tagparser) and is built the same way as these libaries. For basic instructions checkout the README file of [c++utilities](https://github.com/Martchus/cpp-utilities).
