Bug ID: 425657
Summary: Just copying a file using the cli makes it larger
Product: kid3
Version: 3.8.x
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: uflei...@users.sourceforge.net
Reporter: m...@himbeer.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the CLI to copy the tags of one file to another, both files get
modified and grow in size (every time the command gets executed, the file grows
a few kilobytes).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
PS D:\Folder> ls
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a---- 20.08.2020 20:37 22165805 file1.flac
-a---- 20.08.2020 20:40 20521653 file2.flac
PS D:\Folder> &"C:\Program Files\kid3\kid3-cli.exe" `
-c "copy" `
-c "select 'file1.flac'" `
-c "paste" `
"file2.flac"
PS D:\Folder> ls
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a---- 22.08.2020 00:33 22182636 file1.flac
-a---- 22.08.2020 00:33 20540067 file2.flac
The same result can also be achieved with this command:
&"C:\Program Files\kid3\kid3-cli.exe" `
-c "select 'file2.flac'" `
-c "copy" `
-c "select 'file1.flac'" `
-c "paste"
OBSERVED RESULT
Both files grow and the modification date changes.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only file1 should be modified, and the size shouldn't increase with every edit.
Quote from the handbook: "*If files are modified by the commands*, they will be
saved at the end."
