Title: Save To Database Only
Post by: KingSparta on October 04, 2002, 07:59:37 am

Since The New Media Center \ MJ9 Auto Saves To A Media File When You Pull Out Of A PlugIn.

MJ8 You Could Just Save To The Database Without Saving To The MP3 Etc...

Could There Be A Way To Save Only To The Database And Not Allowing MJ To Also Save To The File?

There's still the option to "Update file tags" in Options -> General

Also, DB fields will allow you to customize whether or not they get saved in the tag.

Does that help at all?

Thanks King.

No..

How Can You Control This With In A Program.

Can I Change This In Code?

[X] Save To Database Only
[X] Save To Database And Save To Media File

You Could Do This In MJ8 To Allow A User To Select A Option To Protect The Data In The Media File And Only Make Changes In The Database.

Besides It Is Faster To Scan A Few 1000 Files And Make Changes To The Database And Never Once Change The Media File Tag.

You can't yet  :P

But we'll make a DB field SDK interface.  It'll let you make fields and specify whether they should get saved to the tag or not.

That Would Be Nice, Thanks.
