Analyze: (Default) option to not overwrite existing Tags

I moved my track collection to a new computer (by exporting different playlists including the files).

With the option "analyze newly imported tracks" enabled it has overwritten my Key + Key Text fields on the new computer, which bugs me, because I spent a lot of time checking and partly correcting the Key of all tracks manually.

With "analyze new tracks when loaded to deck" it additionally overwrites my existing beatgrid in the tracks when I load them for the first time on the new computer.

So there should be an option in the "analyze" settings that says:

"Overwrite already existing analysed elements" which is disabled by default, so an new analysis doesn't overwrite any existing element.

If you want to make it more detailed you make it possible to check this option separately for the different analysed elements (bpm, beatgrid, autogain, key, key text, ....).

Thanks!

Ok I just found the analysis lock, that solves most of the problem.

"Key text" is reset though on new analysis even when the lock is on.

I never noticed that bug.

And when the analysis lock is on for a track, I cannot listen to the beatgrid metronome by holding the GRID button on my S2 mk3 anymore because the whole button seems to be blocked (probably to prevent moving the grid with the button + jogwheel). You could still allow hearing the tick though in next versions. For the moment I can work around it with mapping the "tick on" option to another button.
