Summary0001327: Properties are inferred erroneously on rescan of tracks already in the library
DescriptionIf the user Adds/Rescans tracks that have already been added to the library, then properties are inferred, even if the user has already edited the properties to remove the inferences!

This can occur if:
-The user deletes properties that have been inferred because the inference is incorrect
-The user modifies properties that have been inferred because the original inference was incorrect, without updating the tag.

Jiri had proposed adding an option for this, however, I think it would simply make sense to only 'infer properties' if a track is being added for the first time, since inferences for tracks that are already in the library are likely to be incorrect.

This would imply a small text change on the config panel:
'Infer track properties' --> 'Infer track properties on initial scan'
Additional InformationSee below for a usecase in which this problem is discribed (he proposes an alternate solution):

This bug is particularly annoying for videos as described at:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=61053

If a video (or presumably any file) is in the DB, and the user scans it for the first time, then Properties are inferred (as they should be) if 'infer properties' is enabled.

However, if the properties are incorrectly inferred (which happens very often with Videos), and the user then corrects them manually, then the next time the user scans the tracks, the properties are again inferred!

'Infer properties' should only work on the initial scan (and not on tracks already in the db) to prevent such problems.
