Hello all - has there been any thought to incorporating some of the suggestions for a better system for managing larger tagging queues?  I'm once again doing a big overhaul on my library and running into some old issues that seem to have been brought up on previous versions such as: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,89905.msg617570.html#msg617570

Thanks!

That's a pretty old thread.  What do you have in mind?

How about adding the ability to cancel remaining files on qeueu (let's say you have 20,000 more files on queue. And -- although this might be more complicated -- also reverting changes made to the library database for the remaining files whose tags have not been written yet.

Yep agreed - cancelling a large queue would be great.  Currently if you quit the program mid-queue then it seems that the DB reflects the changes (as if the queue had completed) but the un-processed files in the queue are of course unchanged.  This can be problematic when there are multiple actions going on - say, an album change and a rename/move/copy based on that change. 

Let me know if that doesn't make sense...

bump?  Any more interest in this?  Maybe we're the only ones...

Although it gives no feedback that it is doing so, ctrl-z does undo library tagging changes, including ranmaing and moving files if I recall correctly. Now, if the original change was a long one, it will take a long time to undo, and because of the aforementioned lack of feedback, one may panic and think nothing is happening. MC might be improved in this realm.

When I use ctrl-z to Undo a mistaken huge tag edit it happens almost instantly for me with little or no wait.
I must admit I didn't realise ctrl-z would cancel a running tag edit.
That's helpful thanks fitbrit
 

Wasn't there a time when you could click on the status bar at the bottom, when an huge edit was running, and cancel it with a left click?

[fitbrit]

Ctrl-z is undo only, not cancel. At least I believe so.

Does JRiver have an undo log? Sometimes I wonder which queue task I have undone exactly as I may have done two large tasks or more  in sequence. I need to know what exactly I’ve undone.

[JimH]

No.  You can restore a backup.  It's a good idea to make one before you make major changes.  File > Library
