3. Fixed: The list drawing in the Fill Properties From Filename tool wasn't right.

1.  While it's better than the previous build, it's still cutting off values:

(looks like I forgot to rename that after importing, but it'll do)
 
2.  The tooltip (pictured right) ignores the "popup transparency mode" setting.

3.  The "popup transparency mode" setting is still broken.

• It disables transparency on the tooltip shadow rather than just the tooltip.
• "Disable over movies" does nothing.
• Default opacity is far too low. This should be adjustable, since the amount required depends on the skin being used. Perhaps it could be set in the skin, if you don't want it to be a user preference - though I would prefer the former.

1.  While it's better than the previous build, it's still cutting off values:

Each list item is about 6 lines tall.  Taller things will be cutoff and require using the tooltip.

[6233638]

Each list item is about 6 lines tall.  Taller things will be cutoff and require using the tooltip.

With the way that "Fill Properties From Filename" operates, it would be considerably more useful to see the full list of changes being made, than having to constantly go back and forth between hovering over an item, waiting for the tooltip to appear, editing the rule, hovering over it again to see your changes and so on.
 
Generally this tool is being used on a group of similar items such as an album or TV series, so it is far more important to see the full list of tags being affected, than it is to see a lot of items at once.
 
I generally only need to look at the first item in the list when making changes, rather than going over the full list.

2. Fixed: Removed CUE files would get reimported by auto import.

I removed some CUE Files from my library as a test. (filename.flac;1 etc.)
Once these are removed, they seem to be permanently gone.
 
While they show up in the Deleted Items list, they are not being re-imported after removing their entries from the Deleted Items list.
Non-CUE files are re-imported as expected when removed from the Deleted Items list.

Guys, the web quicklinks (Amazon AMG Google Imagas Wiki YouTube) in Library view seems to be broken in the upgrade to 20.0.40
Selecting any of the links just gives a blank page with "loading" hovering in the centre.  ?

Note I have check Internet access etc to be working fine - definitely something wrong in MC20.

Thanx
JJ

Another issue - when importing artists from external HDD some tracks(not all) are listed as "unassigned". Kinda confusing as
eg. Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA album - some of the tracks are imported correctly under Artist, album etc but the rest
of the albums tracks are listed as "unassigned". Please advise if you have experienced this issue and/or maybe have a fix for it ?

I can duplicate it.  There is another similar problem here:

I can't reproduce this.  I imported my entire library again and it's perfect.

Could the files not have tags?  That would cause there to be empty metadata.
