Re: [Easytag-mailing] copying on save

["Jérôme COUDERC" <couderj agf fr>]

Hi,

I've tried to reproduce your problem with hard links to some files, but all
seem to work correctly: the both file are update.
Meanwhile, note that id3lib manages the writing of tags at the beginning and
at the end of each file, and not EasyTAG.
At the present time, I don't know exactly what causes your problem, so
please can you give more informations (file permissions, schemes, ...)

Sincerely,
Jerome
