First, a bug:

* The right-click list of recently run commands enables you to run commands that should not be available in Party mode and are greyed out in their normal menu location.
Example:  Fill Properties From Filename is on my list of 5 recently run commands.  In Party Mode I can't select this option from Library Tools menu, but it does run OK if I select it from the list of recent commands.

One simple solution would be to disable the display of the list of recently run commands on the right click menu in Party Mode.  

Second, a change request:

I think Party Mode allows too much at the moment.  For example, I was surprised that I was able to delete files from library.  The options to send to recycle bin or permanently delete were greyed out, but the basic delete from library was enabled.

I don't think this should be enabled in Party Mode.  Many libraries will, like mine, have "don't import if previously deleted from library" selected;  so  files deleted from the libbrary won't come back on Auto Import, and one would have to a) notice they were gone b) manually re-import them.  This is a pain and I think a good reason why Party Mode shouldn't allow this to happen.

Other examples of functionality I think should not be available in Party Mode:  

1. Add/Customize view styles.  I don't think in Party Mode it should be possible to change any view settings  - these are often intricate and carefully designed, and it's a pain if someone changes any settings.
2. Tag changes:  I would make all views read only, and not able to change any file or tag details at all.
2.  Cover Art.  The whole menu is enabled, allowing a user to change cover art in party mode.  Same as tagging, I would disable this.

If this is too extreme for anyone, it might be nice to add a simple configuration menu with a few options of things that can be turned on or off in party mode.  

Good find.  This will be fixed in a coming build.

Party Mode changes to the library are discarded when exiting party mode.

So in some cases it will let you make changes, but those changes will never persist after leaving party mode.

I agree that it's debatable whether it's better to disable commands or to allow-and-discard commands.
