I have seen this behavior in both, Songbird and Nightingale, under Kubuntu 12.04
And it is, if I update a file (either with Tagscan -wine-, Clementine -native-, or Nightingale/Songbird -both native-), the sync tool appears not to see the "modified date", and therefore does not copy the song at the time of sync.
I'm not sure where it does the add-on sees the dates for updating the files, but when I check the results of the sync (using Mp3Tag under wine) and look at the modified date, it is not the one I was expecting (It keeps being older than the recently edited file), and even more, the old data is still on the "synced" file. So it is not updated at all (With that option checked).
Of course, I have seen this issue when sync to a local folder. Not tested it directly with a device.
On the other hand, I might want to make a request/wish of feature for the sync tool.
And it is to have an option to create symlinks instead to copy each file to the target folder (I have not seen that option on the sync tool).
Not sure if that is possible on every platform (or even possible by the codding language itself), but in Linux might be very useful for those, like me, that need to make sure all the tags can be read in their players.
Well, it is. Thank you for reading!
PD: Thank you for this fine tool.
