Hi, I used Easytag on and off for years now.
What version currently? What OS?
And every time I pick it up after not using it, typically for a year or so, I open my music folder and it starts to scan my entire collection. A couple of questions: - Is there a way to not have automatic corrections applied? With thousands of files this can take a while.
Two things came to my mind about what you describe: 1) you can prevent easytag from browsing sub-folders, if you disable it (preferences -> interface -> browser -> browse subdirectories), at least it won't parse your whole music tree when you select the root folder. 2) whatever you do, selecting a folder will at least browse its direct content and do auto-corrections that will ONLY be applied if you agree. For instance if you select folder A then B, when leaving folder A it asks for saving changes (auto-corrections and your changes if you did some) - it's the "Some files have been modified but not saved" discard/cancel/save dialog. Say Discard, and the auto-corrections won't apply. I'm afraid there is no satisfying answer to your question, so knowing easytag's design and little limitations, there are still some ways to avoid itchy-scratchy behaviours or slightly wrong usability paths and use it in a friendly way even for massive database maintenance.
- When it says: Automatic corrections applied for file /abc/def/hfg.mpg' What did it change? Is there a way to stop this behavior? (I already set the preferences/scanner options to "No Conversion"
Changing video files? It doesn't do such thing here. Sorry I can't help there! Regards, -- wwp
