….before closing or changing to another directory. At the moment any changes made are lost if I forget to click Save.

This seems to have been suggested some time ago but I’m not aware if it’s ever been implemented.

If you have set in Options\>Messages to get a message when there are unsaved changes, you do get a warning - only not when you change the directory.

Thanks for the reply.  
I have that set and if I edit a tag then change to another track or deselect it, it prompts me to save.  
However, if I just go to change the music directory or close the program there is no warning, and any tag changes I had made are lost.  
I feel it would be nice to have a waning in those situations also.
