Additional Tagging & Reporting Tools

could you give me an example of this strange backup path?

"C:\Portable\MB\Library\Playlists\Recently Added.xautopf - Tag Backup 2016-10-01 20.18.15"

[redwing]

I've installed another portable MB for test, but it gives the following error for "Track Tag history" command. Strangely the command is working fine in another MB. Both are with the latest patch and plugin.

Code

it seems that there is no 'missing artwork.png' file in 'plugins' folder.

Thanks! That fixed it.

- If there were changes, show those tags and values only on the popup window upon clicking on the command.

This is what I suggested. But currently it shows all tags, not just changed tags. Then the user has to read all tags to find out what's changed.

the ".Master Tag Index.mbi" is just a master index file, it must not be very big anyway.

I am still concerned about the file's size which keeps growing whenever a backup is made even without any changes from the previous backup. Why does it keep growing without any changes in the library?

changed tags are highlighted by blue-grey color (except for artworks).

master index contains all track ids for every backup, so plugin can quickly find all backups witch have some data for given track. master index is used only by 'tag history' command. its safe to delete this file if you are not going to use this command.

new version (some bugfixes and enhancements):

btw, master index (and backup files also) can be perfectly compressed by ntfs. also master index will be reduced if you (auto)delete old backups.

new plugin version is available:

• New "Backup & Restore" functionality is added.
• A hotkeys can be assigned for ASR presets.

i've never been able to reproduce all these bugs/visual glitches when using skin coloring, but i assume all these bugs are fixed now.

Does "Restore tags for all tracks" or "Restore tags for selected tracks" work for you? I always get this error:

Code

10.0.14393.0 - 3.0.6118.39208 - System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Preferences/Plugin/configure setting doesn't change menu location. It always revert back to the first option.

OK. Then how about showing backup files from newer to older order since "library" (current) is placed leftmost?
