I agree on that.
But personally I think that the sync/revert could be really complex to
implement and comes with many use cases we can't even think of ...
What about explicitly asking user to "commit" metadata changes to actually
modifying files ? We keep it straight : from db to file.
As Keith said, libraries entries may be marked as "modified but not saved
in file" until user decide it's the right time to do apply them.
Like this no "risky" background file change during a set.
No complex, Mixxx crashed handling.
User can be prompt that the task is possibly CPU and/or hard drive
demanding, and if so risky on the sound loop.
We can control that currently playing track or in cache track are handled
properly.
Mixxx can run smoothly in database mode _all_ the time.
Of course this "commit" task should be apply-able on the whole library too
... or just a part of it.
My two cents,
