I have used Mp3tag for years. It is one of my favorite programs, and it is a critical part of my music workflow. Still, one issue has bugged me for a while. I searched the application options and the forum, but I didn't see anything. Short Version: When editing tags, is there a way to make Mp3tag …

If you scan through the threads that deal with the error message that a file could not opened you will find that there are numerous causes for this result: a file is corrupt and has an invalid structure - a retry would be pointless the access permissions are insufficient - a retry would be pointle…

The cause of the message was never in question on my end. It is 100% confirmed to occur because the file is still loaded in foobar. All I need to do in hit stop or start playing a different song in foobar, so the file in question is no longer in use. After doing so, I am able to edit tags in those f…

I think I understood what you mean: You have a workflow that regularly leads to one particular error. And instead of modifying your workflow you want to change the behaviour of the program. If, in foobar, you have to move on to the next file anyway (as otherwise all the retries would fail), why d…

I don't demand that mp3tag work the way I want, but I might as well ask if it can. It's obvious from your last post that you aren't happy …

Impulse Response: ...It's obvious from your last post that you aren't happy with my posts, so I'll wrap this thread up.... When there are suggestions for new or modified features, it is always hard to find out in forum what the original intention of the poster is: is it the search for a solu…

Your post makes sense, but please realize that I was never asking anyone to write new code to suit my needs. If you reread my posts, you'll see I was asking only if such functionality already exists in mp3tag. That's why I don't understand why you immediately got angry at me. This is not limited to…

Impulse Response: ... I was asking only if such functionality already exists in mp3tag. ... It could apply to any case in which one accidentally leaves a file open in another application. ... Within the given constellation, any change in the "external" file, carried out in the desired way, i…

This topic developed in a direction which I personally don't find very beneficial. First, thanks "Impulse Response" for taking the time to suggest this new desired behavior. It makes totally sense and did come up before several times (on the forums and via email). It's just annoying when everything…

Possible to change behavior when "cannot be opened" occurs?
