Tag saving behavior

[patrick machielse]

Hi All,

I'm a happy user of TagLib, but there is one aspect that I'm not fond of: saving.

For example, code like:


  file->save(MPEG::File::ID3v2);


is not guaranteed to write the file fully to disk until 'file' is deleted.

This behavior is unintuitive, especially when the C++ file object is wrapped in a different object, running under different memory management rules (in my case Obj-C + ARC).

I think it would be good if save() would also fflush() the file buffer.


I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but I believe this would be a good change for a future update of TagLib.

Thanks,

patrick
