I am also turning this in as a feature request, although "I" would consider it a BUG. Cuz it bugs the %$#*^&% out of me.
PLEASE PLEASE if its not to late to add to V7, the MM needs a "save"and "save as" !! plus an " Are you sure" or "confrim delete"
It has happened to me too many times, that I have either accidentally deleted a tag or more than one, for a specific library.
this last time I swear was some sort of glitch because I deleted the "scan" tag then suddenly all my Tags were gone!!!!.
there is no Undo for this action , so if you have not done a back up library EVERYTIME you add files or get ready to hit the Delete button.
Your screwed, with out having to go back and create a new library with a new name, and thats if you were smart enough to make sure you select all media and hit "save tags in all media..." Again Everytime you have added files.
If people dont understand what I am talking about I can tell you how easy it is to repro this and how far it puts you back.
Unless I am missing something Blatenly obvious.

This could easily be avoided by having what all other programs have.
"save", "Save as" , " Undo",or "confirm Delete" I'll take any one of those.

Thanks to johnny Roy, I have decided to start using the MM. It can be a great asset. but when this happens its a great PAin in the Assets!!

Ok time to go pick up my hair from the floor I ripped out and try and glue it back on.....

LOL -- Eric, don't use Elmer's, it'll wash out when you shower!

Man, I feel your pain. That's why I don't use MM. I'm neither as smart or as patient as you and Grazie! Besides, I'm running out of hair to pull...

Unfortunately we're talking about a database here and databases do not have Save, all updates are live.
You can code around this but Oh, what a PIA and as databases are multiuser you can create more problems that you solve.
The only way to do a Save As is to make a complete copy of the database and again two problems. Firstly in a multiuser environment that's extremely difficult and secondly you can start using up a lot of disk space.

Sorry, Bob, but Vegas is an application that uses SQL server and good apps should have a 'save as', or 'do you want to delete' option. SQL server has it's own built in concurency and transaction support, so resolving locks and diiferent version issues are available to any developer who wishes to take advantage of them. Cacheing a change and keeping track of changes before commiting is de rigeur in Client Server development.

p.s. I write multi user / multi tier applications against Oracle and SQL server and other RDBMS for a living.

SQL Rollback/commit provides ability to undo/save changes.
