Title: I need on Info about the SaveToTag() method of the MJFileAutomation object
Post by: @l@n on May 04, 2006, 10:38:33 am

Does anyone have any information on what exactly the SaveToTag() method of the MJFileAutomation object does?

The Media Center Interface SDK documentation simply says the SaveToTag() method "Forces Media Center to save the file information to the tag". 

It is not clear to me exactly what file information is being saved to what tag.  Hopefully someone can clear this up for me.

Thanks...  @l@n

This confused me.  Originally I used it on the EvilLyrics plugin.
I thought it was like a commit change to database type thing.
However I noticed that after removing it, the lyrics were still saved....
I'm none the wiser...

Is it maybe an override to the "Update tags when file info changes" option"?

So if you have that option unchecked, a plugin can still force MC to write to the file's tag anyway?

Seems like that would be a Bad Idea(tm), so I doubt that's what it is...

I asked once for this option in the early days, and can't remember why.

This option was usefull prior to some changes made i think in MC9 or MC10

Now it is really not too usefull (pontless really)

I think it had to do with how the database was saved before.
