Summary0011977: Add first run warning to Auto-Tools
DescriptionNew users often use features in MediaMonkey without fully understanding how they work. Common misconceptions are that Auto-Tag from Web will tag all your files correctly and Auto-Tag from Filename doesn't require configuration and uniform folder/filenames. Even Properties on multiple files isn't always understood. This leads to destructive behavior on users tags from which MediaMonkey can't always recover and doesn't give a good first impression.

To prevent this from happening a first run warning should be shown for each feature (like Auto-Tag from Web, Auto-Tag from Filename, Properties, Auto-Organize Files) indicating important aspects of that particular feature. Each warning should have a don't show again option and should contain a read more on this feature link to Help.

Examples:
Auto-Tag from Web informs users that multiple results may be available in the drop-down, warns users that it only works per Album for default sources, warns that they should verify the tag changes in the bottom part of the window before applying and links to the Addons site for Addons for Auto-Tag from Web.

Auto-Organize Files informs user to choose a mask that results in unique filenames, warns user that duplicate filenames results in file loss and warns user to verify the new filenames before applying.


Auto-Tag from Filename informs the user to change the mask to match their folder/filename setup, warns user it only works on files with the exact same folder/filename setup and warns user to verify changes before applying.
