Proppfrexx metadata.

Hey i have question from metadata.
How hide or move metadata files ( pfwf ) another folder ?

I am not sure what you mean exactly.
But, .pfmd files (if you want to use them; as you might also save all meta data directly to the TAGs) are regular files like any other files.
As such ProppFrexx does not 'hide' them.

However, if you copy an audio file to another location (and you are using .pfmd files) you might want to copy then as well (in order to not 'loose' them).
When you manually copy an audio file (e.g. using the Windows Explorer) you must ensure this yourself!

If you use the 'Copy to Folder' resp. 'Move to Folder' options from within ProppFrexx (e.g. using the ProppFrexx Explorer Window), this is ensured automatically!


(P.S.: I moved your post here, as this doesn't seem to be a bug!)

I should to use metadata, but if i play any file, then proppfexx create pfwf file to some folder.

I am afraid, I do not understand your point?

When a file is currently playing and you save your meta data to the audio files TAG; sure, that TAG data can not be written directly (as the file might still be open for playback).
If that happens ProppFrexx will try to write the TAG data again in 10 sec. - this up to around a maximum of 30 minutes.

Sure, writing to .pfmd file is always immediately successful - the .pfmd file is always created in the same folder as the audio file plus the .pfmd extension - this is the only reliable way to uniquely identify the reference between the two!
Placing all .pfmd files to a single common folder wouldn't guarantee a unique reference. E.g. what if you have two exact same files (having the same filename) but located in two different folders?!

Here you come with the choice I can only explain the Pro and Cons...

Is that normal for these files pfwf are some folder with audio files ?
And their location can not be changed ?

As also explained above: You can also write all meta data to the audio file directly, if you don't like to use .pfmd files!
