Yes, there's no action to reload tags via script
Yes, Reload Tags is an option only when multiple files are selected
For a single file you can open it in Tag Editor and if the tag contents are different from what VirtualDJ holds on it's database, you can use the small arrows under each field to copy the contents of the tag to VirtualDJ.

Can I ask why this decision was made for single files?
There are quite a few times that I make a tag change (of multiple fields) for a single file in a 3rd party organization app (Lexicon), for e.g., during a live performance to update fields to more reasonable values, and I either have to:
- Open the tag editor to update each field manually/separately
- Batch a bunch of files with such changes (which isn't immediate), or at least one file with no changes, to use the reload tags option

Yeah, it's a shame because it means I have to choose two files to refresh tags - which means I lose the grid/cues in many cases. I only want to refresh the tags/cues on one file, but I have to choose two.
What are the chances of pretty please making this option available in the next update?

I can't understand why it's not available. It's such a simple thing to add - the function is already there.
I don't want to be messing around on my trackpad when I'm DJing.. It's such a convoluted process for a simple problem.
Can we please have a script and menu option?

I agree with the lack of a single file option, but why would you lose grids/cues by refreshing tags on two files?

It's like they're deliberately making it difficult if we want to refresh the tag of a single file because we have to open up a new window and click individual tags.

Additionally,
I sync and update my tracks' ratings and tags on my phone, but these changes don't reflect in VirtualDJ.
I've attempted to create a filter for files updated within the last, say, 7 days (File Date) without success. It only allows us to input a set date.
Using Select All => Refresh Tag Info results in loss of information for wave files or very old files.
How can I best refresh tracks that are updated in other software without losing existing tag information? My best guess was to do it based on File Date=<Last 7 Days but it's not an option.
Is there a way to "tag lock" and "analysis lock" selected files to prevent unwanted updates or analyses?
There's no way to run a script to refresh Tag Info either.
The whole idea of Filters rely on the tags being correct, and recently changed files aren't showing up.
Thanks for any guidance!

I have the issue that even with reload tags, the newly tagged files dont show up in search, you still have to go to each file and use the arrow to populate and then save the file. that is not a solutions when i have updated like 1000s tracks with year and genre :(. is there any other way for VDJ to get the latest tags done through an external program? otherwise now i have to go to 1000 files individually. :(

Hi VDJ team,
I've recorded a video to illustrate the issue we're facing, showcasing the challenge in keeping recently updated tracks up to date in VirtualDJ.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/urNagjF6u2Zhr9n8A
In today's fast-paced DJ environment, and given the sheer volume of music DJs must consume, efficient tag management is essential. Many of us update our tracks' tags frequently using various software, and it's essential to reflect these changes in VirtualDJ without a convoluted process. The current limitation of needing to select multiple files to 'Reload Tags' is a significant hindrance, especially when changes are made to single files, or when we don't know which files have been updated.
I believe adding an automated 'reload tags' feature, or at least a VirtualDJ script verb for this purpose, would be a game-changer for many professionals. It's about streamlining our workflow and ensuring our libraries are always up to date with minimal manual intervention.
VirtualDJ is renowned for its innovation and responsiveness to user needs. Implementing this feature would not only enhance the software's functionality but also demonstrate the team's commitment to adapting to the evolving needs of the DJ community.
Thank you for considering this enhancement. Your efforts in continuously improving VirtualDJ are greatly appreciated.
