Summary0008578: Auto-organize of tracks in the 'My Computer' node ignores tags
DescriptionIf there's a discrepancy between a tracks Tags and the Library fields, and the user views the file in the My Computer node, then MediaMonkey correctly displays the tag data.

However, if the user then auto-organizes the track(s) from the My Computer node, MM organizes based on what is in the DB instead of on the tag contents!

This is correct, as discussed in other issues, MM has to read Library value before doing any operations in My Computer node, in order to avoid possible data-loss. This includes editing Properties, etc.

It may be a technical limitation of MM's current architecture, but this is a real bug. If it's too difficult/risky to make this change, we can prioritize a fix low, but I don't want to just dismiss such issues because they're real, and they should be considered when we make architectural improvements (e.g when we go cross platform).

Ok, leaving as a low priority issue. There really isn't any solution in the current architecture as already discussed several times in other issues. I think that the only solution would be to make a big line between My Computer node and all Library nodes and make them completely independent. I.e. that a change in My Computer node wouldn't be reflected in Library node, unless there's a File Monitor running. That would probably be risky anyway though.
