How not too write "Tool Name" and "Tool Version" too tags?

(1/2) > >>

flac.rules:
Is there a way too not write tool name and tool version when tagging? Under "Manage library fields", i can turn of taggings for fields, but the tool-tags doesn't seem to be in this list?

Nope, you can't pick what gets written to the tags. Either all or nothing.

flac.rules:
Thats not the case i think, you can pick and choose in the manage Library Fields. But other tags are easier anyhow, because you can choose them, and choose not to use them, tool version and tool name is written by default in addition to the tags i actually change, and I can't find a place to turn them off.

221bBS:
Yeah your right, never seen an options to turn those off.

There is no way to avoid writing these two file tags if you want to write some other tag changes to the files.

You can disable file tagging completely in general options (untick "Update tags when file info changes"). All tag changes will then be stored only in the database and the disk files will stay intact. Personally I have found the new Toolbar button for this option very handy. Right-click the top or bottom Toolbar to configure the buttons.

I guess the JRiver developers might want to ask why these tags bother you. MC adds the Tool tags only when some other tag change has already triggered tag writing. If you would like to avoid unnecessary incremental backup sessions, even without writing these tags your files would not stay unchanged when you save any other tag changes to the files.
