I'd selected many tracks to change a common tag.
The Status Bar shows "nnn tracks to be tagged"
Meanwhile I looked in the Folder via "Find More from Same".
That stops tagging of the remaining tracks without warning.
A little workaround (and a "nice to have") would be a red background (or Progress bar?) in the Status Bar, when MM is doing something, that should not be interrupted by user inputs.

That's true
Okay, i've noticed the new green bar when playing new Tracks in the library.
But now I think, it's not a sufficient warning, I had the same problem again.
What do you think about a warning in the Properties window, when a background task will revoke your changes?
Or a temporary termination of the background process?
I was flabbergasted when I saw all the old entries appearing one by one.

Background tagging process interrupted??
Timo,
Background processes in MM are supposed to continue running in the background regardless of user input (unless the user explicitly terminates the process by right-clicking on the progress bar). Thus the solution to this problem would be to fix abnormal termination if it in fact occurs.
I tried to replicate the problem you describe, but couldn't (i.e. in my machine Find more from same had no impact on the tagging thread). If you're certain that you can reproduce the problem, please try to give us the exact repro steps.
If you're able to reproduce it only occasionally, a debug log would help get to the bottom of this.

Hi Rusty,
I tried this to reproduce it:
Status:
The whole Library's volume is already analyzed.
enable: automatic analyze volume of unanalyzed tracks.
Put a new album via filesystem in your media folder.
Mark all new files and rightclick "Play in MediaMonkey"
Change to MM
(The StatusBar shows "nn tracks to be tagged" (put into library), followed by "Volume analysis tagging [filename]")
Meanwhile mark all tracks in "NowPlaying" and rightclick Properties.
Changes a common entry (Album) and OK.
The changes are written to the NowPlaying list.
Wait a moment, Vol. Anal. is still running.
The old entries will reappear one by one.
The same happend, when the Vol. Anal. runs the first time, and I changed some Properties of tracks in the main list.

Tagging is undone
Timo,
I can't replicate this and I've tried every way I can think of
Anyone else notice tagging getting 'undone' in this manner?

Hey Timo_Beil, use Cam Studio to record your desktop to show the problems and upload to YouTube or any other video Web site or file hosting Web site to help the developers. Would not that help? That is what I do to help me to show software developers what is happening while beta testing any progam.
