Summary0019368: Auto-Tag: Improvements to Auto-Tag
DescriptionAuto-Tag in some cases tend to lag on user command during processing and it is unclear what user can do while tagging

1. If use select one track during processing he gets TAG & CONTINUE immediately available -> Expected that TAG & CONTINUE button have busy circle showing progress.

2. If Lyrics column is enabled it extend processing time considerably and clicking TAG & CONTINUE Stays for long time even all other info is fetched already (eg. title, artist, album, ...) -> Expected that clicking on TAG & CONTINUE cancels further processing, close Auto-Tag Dialog and proceed with tagging. Currently it can take tens of seconds (depending on number of files) to close AUTO-TAG dialog.

3. There is no way to cancel processing only whole Auto-Tag. Expected Right click on Progress to have Terminate option.

4. In case of any of Title, Artist is unknown prior to tagging and it is found It would be expected that track is Auto selected for Tagging. It saves a lots of clicking and time from user to select them later. Especially if larger number of files are selected.

5. Auto-Tag can fail in case Title and Artist are missing, but album exists. Expected that Auto-tag from filename is firstly executed eg. the one that is executed during scan to guess missing tags which will result in most cases of correct auto Tag. NOTE: MM5 better detects missing Tags than older MM versions, but users migrating from older MM versions or have "infer properties" disabled.
Steps To ReproduceSteps to reproduce 5:
1. Disable "Infer Properties" in Options -> Library
2. Using folders navigate to sample R.E.M. Album
3. Initiate Auto-Tag -> Track 5 will be detected incorrectly -> Cancel Auto-Tag
4. Execute Auto tag from Filename to populate Title
5. Initiate Auto-Tag -> all tracks are correctly detected and Auto-Tagged
NOTE: Sample Album is uploaded to FTP under "/Testing/MMTestData/TaggingTests/"
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build

1) There's a progress bar already in the dialog. No need for a second one.
2) I disagree--as long as the status bar shows that lookup is incomplete, it's reasonable for the tag operation to no t be allowed.
3) The cancel button works for me.
