Using v. 2.0 (stable) or 2.1 beta (64 bits), interface is temporarily freezing on my side when I update tags, while music is still playing flawlessly. It can last from a few seconds (if I update tags of a single album) to a few minutes (for a bunch of albums using masstager) and everything will be fine again after all operations are completed. Meanwhile CPU usage is somewhere between 20 and 50 %. Same thing happens while new music is being downloaded and automatically scanned for being added in media library. My computer is "a bit" old (see specs below) and music library quite big.

This didn't happen with previous versions. I don't know anything about computing, but I guess this has something to do with foobar now being unable to forget new tag updates after crash (which is nice) and that this is not a bug but a consequence of choices made. Hence I'd like to know if there were ways to shorten this temporary freeze for old computers ran by old people like me... Any help appreciated!

Of course I use some components, mostly JScript Panel samples, but I guess they affect RAM more than CPU, and problems were similar without them installed.

Here's my configuration:

CPU   Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz   3.60 GHz
RAM   16,0 Go
Foobar on SDD
Music library (over 18,000 albums; 8 TB data) on 3 different supposedly healthy HDD
Windows 10

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but the music folder path (with V2.0 in portable mode) becomes corrupt if you move the FB2K folder to another directory. It will say "The system cannot find the path specified." 

My music folder is in D:\Music but it actually added another folder to the path when I moved FB2K. So the path became D:\Darkone\Music.

Ok, it turns out the problem might be my end and I can't figure out why. Something is corrupting the path of one of my portable themes, whenever I move the FB2K portable folder to another directory. Even if I copy it and paste it in the same dir, it becomes corrupt.  But it doesn't do this on the older Foobar (V1.6.16). Only V2.

So all my themes are fine on both 32Bit versions of FB2K when moving them  But one theme does not on V2.0, only.

I don't know how I'm going to begin trouble shooting this.

Update: Ok, so I made a fresh portable install of V2 32 bit and copied the profile files of my 'tainted' theme to the new install. (I did not copy files like playlists-v2.0). And now it works fine when moving around.  I'm still going to play around with the 'tainted' version and see why it's doing that.

Update 2: I spoke to soon. It's doing it again.

One more update. The "bug" seems to happen randomly. When it happens , the path shows up as "...\...\Music Files". When it doesn't, the path shows up as "D:\Music Files". I don't think it has anything to do with my theme (IE: components).

I use Foobar 64-bit
I need to know in Masstagger how to import.
I click on the "Import From File" button and mark an .mts file but nothing happens (Image1).
I also need to know if it is possible to sort the scripts. (Image2)

I want to do a Query search that will list the tracks whose title contains " (double quotation mark)

I write this script:

Code: [Select]
%title% HAS "
but it doesn't work and it lists the complete library
I guess it must be a reserved character that requires a special syntax

Re: foobar2000 v2.0 bugs

You can replace " with ' in title tag: Masstagger | Format values from other fields
(Please check output preview)

TITLE
Code: [Select]
$replace(%title%,'"','')

Coming back on this... It seems that foobar is rebuilding the entire library each time I make any change on the metadatas or doing anything else that could affect the library (adding an album for instance). It is pretty annoying since heavy changes can freeze the program for tenth of minutes. Tasks manager tells me that foobar uses up to 40 % of CPU ressources (usually 25-30 % and less than 1 % in normal use). I tried everything I could with Windows, such as giving foobar "real time access" with no results. I'm a bit desperate about this...

I did with 2.0 32 bits version with no results. Will try again tonight with 2.1 64 bits.

Did a perfectly clean portable install of v. 2.1. Library scan has been quite fast (maybe 20-30 minutes) but problem remains the same: foobar freezes after editing tags, adding albums, etc...

I also notice that RAM use is quite high... 1200 to 2300 MB but that might be because I use Smooth Browser.

No errors and everything seems to load quite fast, including library.

Thanks for trying to help anyway, I appreciate! Trying to read one drive at a time is not a bad idea, I'll do it when I have time.

FB2K 2.0 is missing the option to specify push or event for exclusive mode. Push was useful for use with older asynchronous DAC processors.

Overall, my view of 2.0 is that it lacks polish and has a unattractive GUI. It looks like a step backwards for Foobar development. Not sure what the goal of 2.0 or what purpose the project's existence serves. I hope version 1.0 continues to see updates. 2.0 should be shelved for now.

There is a feature (Default UI, Playlist View) from 1.X that's gone missing as far as I can tell.

In 1.6.16 and earlier, if I drag a playlist selection to the column header bar (as in the attached screenshot), it will remove the selected tracks from their position in the playlist and drop them at the end of the playlist.  I'd very much like to see this functionality return, it is super useful in curating playlists - e.g., after having just listened to an album and deciding you want to keep it "on rotation."

Was there any change with how foobar deals with relative file paths in the fpl files with v2.0?  I always keep my foobar2000.exe in the root directory of my music folder, this way I could just sync my music with OneDrive between computers.  Once I upgraded to v2.0, when I try to add the .\ path to the monitoring folders it always just fills in an absolute path.
