Hi,

How do I turn auto-import off?  If I cant, how can I choose what folders I want it to see?  And how can I make sure j.river doesn't touch the tags or the files in any way (ie I want the music files to be exactly the same way they were before I use j.river in case I don't want to keep the program)?

Thanks for any help.

1) The Auto-Import options are in:

Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Auto-Import Folders > Add Folder...
Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Auto-Import Folders > Add Folder... > Advanced
Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Auto-Import Folders > Options

In there you can disable the feature (untick everything) or manually add/remove folders and set the folder specific file types.

Personally, I use only a couple of dedicated import locations and most of the time I have the background importer disabled. I have added the "Run Auto-Import Now" button on the top toolbar so that I can quickly run it when preferred:



Right-click the top toolbar to configure the buttons.


2) To disable file tagging:

Tools > Options > General > Importing & Tagging > untick "Update tags when file info changes"

All changes will still be stored in the library (aka database) and can be applied to the files later.
