Description sdiconov 2016-12-15 20:35:32 UTC 
I am using EasyTag 2.4.3 and while using the scanner tool to fill tags from filenames I cannot put any strings into the comments fields, because everything gets overwritten by the nasty "Encoded by EasyTag" message. 

For example, scanning the filename

08 - Too Old To Rock 'N' Roll- Too Young To Die! (Demo, Steven Wilson Mix).flac

with %n - %t (%c) mask I lose the "Demo, Steven Wilson Mix" comment, which gets replaced. This makes it impossible to tag files according to my preferred standards.
Comment 1 sdiconov 2016-12-15 20:50:48 UTC 
Yes, I have found the setting to disable it, but the scanner must ask or at least warn about losing information due to the default comment. And it shouldn't be on by default.
Comment 2 David King 2016-12-16 09:10:47 UTC 
I changed the default of the fill-set-default-comment setting to be false, so that the comment field will not be filled unless explicitly requested, in commit cce86cfc026b1c6eaca5edd4df71a8b3a2e317c1
Comment 3 sdiconov 2016-12-16 12:45:09 UTC 
This will help the fresh users, however it does not resolve eventual conflicts between %c and the default comment. There should be some warning message about using %c with the default comments on.
