Summary	0010847: My Computer Node: Media Column and metadata is not filled correctly
Description	1. While browsing My computer Tree Node and watching folders/tracks that are already in Library Track view do not show any indication that tracks are already in library. It is clearly shown on video produced for bug 0010846 that is uploaded on FTP To be consistent with Library information browsing such folders should show all info from Library especially as Unsynchronized tracks have own node. 2. By browsing and showing correct info user can easily determine if folders contain new tracks that are not in library and rescan folders.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build

rusty 2013-05-10 16:31 administrator ~0036026	There are a number of different issues raised here: 1a. The fact that the My Computer Tree doesn't match the Library > Locations node is by design. The My Computer node is intended to always display the tag contents, in contrast to library nodes which display library content. In earlier versions of MMW this wasn't the case, however, it was changed to the current behavior based on customer feedback. The only bug that I'm aware of in this functionality is 0002606 + 0001412, however they're relatively minor (you can see in those bugs that many other related issues were fixed over time). 1b/2. The fact that there's no indicator that a track already exists within the library. That's a good idea for a new feature in this node--it can be entered as a new issue, though I don't consider it very urgent.

peke 2013-05-11 00:18 developer ~0036034	I'm aware of that, problem arises (I had to explain to one of our users) when he uses My computer tree to correct Tags, and watch what is added to folder as he uses this mask to store files "\\DUONAS\Music\<Artist:1>\<Artist>\<Artist> - <Title>" and his library is 60k+. Fe doesn't use File monitor due the slowness of rescan (56Mbit Wi-Fi) and due the fact that Linux based NAS do not publish folder changes when it is done Locally within NAS Services (This is known problem to all not just MMW). 1a. Question is what Properties will MMW load on Right Click -> Properties as if it loads tag apron save metadata will be invalid and will not be reflected in Library? 1b/2. I agree that it is not urgent, high 4.1.1? I worried that I missed something, like you already pointed out.

rusty 2013-05-23 19:47 administrator ~0036154	1a. I'm not sure that I understand the question, but if you're suggesting that when the user saves metadata via the My Computer node, that the library should be updated (even if the File Monitor isn't enabled), I can see the logic in that. BUT, I think that it could also cause problems in cases where the library contains metadata that isn't stored to tags (e.g. DISC# isn't saved to a WAV file, so if the user opened it in My Computer view, it wouldn't show the DISC# even if it exists in the DB; and if the user modified other metadata in this view, they'd expect that Disc# field would be erased, since the tag was saved without a Disc#--but that's not how things should work--if the user opens the track in Library>Locations, the Disc# field should be filled in--even if the file monitor is enabled. For that reason I think that we should leave things as is. 1b/2 I'd consider it 'low' priority even for 4.1.1.
