You'd need to make the song info window watch for changes to the entry
it's displaying and update its text fields so that it wouldn't try to
restore the original values when the window was closed.

 

I thought about that, but is there a way to do that from plugin? My
first thought was to get the instance of tab0 object(Notebook) then get
it's child(s) and try to update information for every field listed
there or at least the ones I need. But as I'm totally new to py and
especially to pyGTK I not sure if it's possible and if it is how to get
these childs. I looked in gtk.Notebook documentation for some function
which could return me a childs but I didn't find anything like this. 

Anyway. Is still cannot update PROP_YEAR tag. 'em I the only one
with this problem? Could I get an example if it works for some of you
guys. PS: please specify rb version just in case.
