custom paths with inline plugin broken? about beets-alternatives

[wisp3rwind]

Hi! Please, provide the configuration file that generates this issue, and beets and beets-alternatives' versions.

You could probably test this by using the particular inline field in a regular path format, (and maybe run beet move -p to show what the effect would be without actually moving anything).

One of the examples at https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/inline.html does use len().

Sorry, I fat-fingered the wrong button! here's the output of beet config. it works fine during import and move! both are latest versions, so beet 1.6.0 and beets-alternatives 0.10.2. this plugin also throws an error on running beet alt --version
