In fact, there are two buttons for the track fields:
 - button on the right, appliesthe both fields to all files (needed to
remove track data),
 - button on the left (#), to sequence all the tracks in the directory (01,
02, 03, ...)

I had this bug with id3lib 3.8.0pre2.1, but not with 3.8.0pre2. Currently,
I'm using a cvs snapshot of the library (from February) which works fine. So
I recommend you to upgrade to this version (or version 3.8.0pre2)

There is the function Reload_Directory in the popup menu that will do that
;-)

See on the right of the menubar....

When loading files, EasyTAG identifiates each file by his name. If you
rename them from the shell, how can it guess the new filenames?...  So, of
course, it doesn't find them.
You must save the changes before to rename file by an external way. If you
do it with EasyTAG, no problem occurs. :O)
