Description J.B. Nicholson 2014-11-07 04:18:40 UTC 
The file selection is lost on saving.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select a directory with multiple audio files which don't trigger any kind of changes EasyTAG would automatically want to change in any way.

2. Select all of the audio files in that directory.

3. Click save.

You've specified no changes to be made to the files, so nothing needs saving. Yet now the file selection is now one of the audio files. I'm not sure exactly which file is picked, but I expected the file selection to remain unchanged.

This is a duplicate of an existing bug, where the save action is enabled even if there have been no changes. This has existed as far back as I can remember, and seems to be a hack to enable the use case of changing a text field in a file and then saving before moving to another file. The file is not marked as modified until moving to another file, but the save is permitted regardless.

It seems that the selection also changes if one or more of the selected files has pending changes, so fixing the save bug will not solve this bug after all. There has also been another report on the mailing list: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/easytag-list/2014-November/msg00010.html
