Downloading Purchases - Configuration question

--- Quote from: steven.porteus on March 28, 2015, 05:51:06 am ---Here's the second part to this design issue and why it needs to be built.  Because PMW keeps those downloads in the library, and my auto-import settings analyze audio and update tags, it will scan these files and change them from the original downloads.  While not "harmful" per se, it's not what I want the software to do.  I want it to ignore my download library so that it's pristine and only act on the location that I told it to import from.

This is definitely a wish list item to be able to clearly configure.  I think this is as "simple" as adding an "add to library" option to the Pono Music service so that we can de-select this option.  If it's not added to the library, I don't think PMW will muck with the files.  The other option is to ensure that the auto-import functions ONLY acts upon files in the location that you specify for the import.  Either way, this should be low hanging fruit to put into a new release and ease some frustration.

Have had a similar experience and concur. I have already discovered files in my OSX Trash that I did put there. Becoming a proceed at your own risk. So the feedback from users is important and appropriately offered in my opinion in a thoughtful and respectful manner.

JohnT:
I think this is a reasonable enhancement.  We could add a configurable location for purchased music to the Options / File location dialog along with a check-mark for whether they should be imported following download.  Then if you ensured that folder wasn't included in the auto-import watch folders, they won't be imported.

steven.porteus:
JohnT - YOU ROCK!  Thank you for picking up on this and moving it forward.  (And for responding to my other post too!)
