Hi all.

I saw a thread where someone asked for a field for “do not update this file’s metadata”. I would second this request.
Note: I saw the recommendation about turning Maintain Database off, but that just shifts the work to hitting the “Online Metadata” button manually for every new file that is added later, right?

Because I have so many Classical Music concerts, home videos, kids videos from YouTube, it would be easier for me if I could have auto metadata updates for movies and TV shows only,
and anything added to those folders gets updated (and added to other folders does not get metadata updated).

Thanks,
Jeff

There is a way to lock the properties of a file so that they do not get updated http://www.mezzmo.com/wiki/doku.php?id=properties&s[]=lock#lock

This lock feature does NOT work on my Mezzmo 6.0.6.0 version. Keeps changing things that I locked.
