The instruction for installing new Web Source scripts (.src files) is to place them in **%appdata%** \Mp3tag\data\sources.

With my installation they are not displayed in Mp3tag unless they are placed in **%programfiles(x86)%**\Mp3tag\data\sources. (**%programfiles(x86)%** is the default Mp3tag installation directory)

**%appdata%** \Mp3tag\data\sources seems to be ignored.

Why does this happen, contrary to the documentation?  
Will there be a problem when updating or re-installing?
