Description David King 2012-12-01 18:24:30 UTC 
From the original bug report:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3482123&group_id=5216&atid=105216

Hello,
when I start Easytag with directory name as command line option, it scans it, then it drops it and scans default directory. In addition, it ignores setting default directory to "./" (current directory).

Thanks.

Confirmed for easytag 2.1.8. For me, the scanning takes forever, I have to abort it to be able to use easytag. This is a regression from the 20120618 git snapshot that is used in the Mageia package of easytag.

That sounds like a separate bug (but possibly related) and should be filed as such. I had a quick look at this and I can only reproduce it if the "Search subdirectories" (BROWSE_SUBDIR) option is TRUE.

I filed that as bug 693613.

I also have this issue, using easytag
Comment 5 David King 2013-03-20 18:12:47 UTC 
This works fine for me with 2.1.8 and master, and was probably fixed as a result of fixing bug 693613. Something to watch out for is that the "Load on startup the default directory or the directory passed as arugment" is enabled in the preferences.
Comment 6 David King 2013-10-05 14:02:20 UTC 
This bug seems to have reappeared after 2.1.8 was released.
Comment 7 David King 2013-10-05 14:05:05 UTC 
After a bit of investigation, this turned out to have been introduced by commit 820c5ae2ddc319073d23d308204069850c1682a2. Reverting that patch, after the underlying cause was fixed, solves the problem for me. The fix is in commit c3b8728863f76c3ded465dfe45d212502a1505cc in master.
