Summary0017782: Scanning - Continuous doesn't work (regression 5.0)
DescriptionIf the user enables Scanning (Continuous) for a directory, then MediaMonkey 5 fails to recognize tag updates made to files in the directory. In addition, scanning settings are lost on restart.

To replicate:
1 Set MM5 to continuously monitor Music/Album X
2 Navigate to Music > Albums > Album X [album view]
3 In another program, change the artist metadata of one of the tracks in Album X
--> MediaMonkey fails to display the change!
4 Press F5
--> MediaMonkey fails to display the change!
5 Press INS to manually initiate a scan of the directory
--> MediaMonkey displays the change
6 Restart MediaMonkey
7 Press INS
--> Scan settings show the scan settings for Music/Album X as 'Manual' rather than 'Continous'!
So there may be 2 separate bugs (lost config setting / failed continuous scan) or just a failure to save the config which results in the failed continuous scan.

This is a regression vs MediaMonkey 4 which is working correctly in my environment for the same usecase.

Tried briefly and I can't replicate the settings not persisting issue, but I can replicate that the tag metadata updated externaly does not update in MM5 (even if I see the file monitor working and updating it in the debug log), but in my case they don't update even after manual re-scan. Probably a ID3 version mismatch or something like this, I'll investigate this more deeply tomorrow...

EDIT: OK, in my case it did not work because I had disabled the checkbox in 'Options > Library > [x] Update info from tags when rescanning files'
Once I enabled the checkbox then it started to work, i.e. using F5 in MM5 > Music > Location > ... does show the new values.
Note though that I used MM4 for the tag modification, I'll try with the Mp3Tag app tomorrow...

There were actually three issues:

1) Folder's settings to "Continuously" was applied only once MM5 was restarted (should be applied immediatelly after clicking [Save] or [Scan now] in the Add/Rescan dialog)
2) Folder's settings to "Continuously" sometimes failed to save/store on MM5 closing -- thus not restored after MM5 restart => the Rusty's case
3) Metadata changes in tags were updated in the view only after pressing F5 (to refresh)

All three issues are fixed in 5.0.1.2400

Verified 2400

Confirm all three cases fixed, I also tested regression, but it would be good to see second verification before closing.
