An option to backup the file on track.save();

[DividedSEv2]

I dont think this is a issue rather a discussion so i didnt create a issue.
Toying with Tags is too much pain while backing up track multiple time for testing purpose...
Would be great if track.save(bool doBackup(default false)) on each save with timestamp (track12102021.mp3) only for faster development & testing.
Do you think it is viable option for atl or atl clients do need it itself?

In my humble opinion, from an API design point of view, having that option would look really weird.
I haven't seen any equivalent library that has anything similar.

Maybe you could get inspiration from what I've set up for my own testing app :

Sample code (from ATL.test.IO.HighLevel.TagIO_RW_DeleteTag)

// Create a temp copy of the given reference file
string testFileLocation = TestUtils.CopyAsTempTestFile("MP3/01 - Title Screen.mp3");
// Instanciate the Track from the temp copy
Track theTrack = new Track(testFileLocation);

// Here be some tests

// Get rid of the temp copy
if (Settings.DeleteAfterSuccess) File.Delete(testFileLocation);

A simplified version of TestUtils is there :
https://github.com/Zeugma440/atldotnet/blob/master/ATL.benchmark/TestUtils.cs

The code creates the temp copy into the project's Resources\tmp folder but you can adapt it to do whatever you need.

If you test the features of an actual app by using its GUI, you may want to play with #if DEBUG (e.g. if DEBUG is set, work on a temp copy; if not, work on the actual file)

As u were curious about my project earlier, if u want to see i can attach some screenshot of what i done with atl here.

Pretty please, go ahead 😄

Ok 👌 I will post some soon.

I'm following the tutorial.
The parameters of theTrack.Save(); do not contain FilePath or Stream.

I want to save the modified mp3 as a new file, and I don't need to constantly restore the original file that hasn't been modified。

I'd like to be able to refer to design of System.Drawing.Image.Save()

Track.SaveAs(Stream stream);
Track.SaveAs(string Path);

[Zeugma440]

I like that suggestion - the System.Drawing.Image API looks nice indeed. I'll consider it for the next updates and keep you informed

[Zeugma440]

Track.SaveAs (and its async variants) are available on today's v5.26

I tried using v5.26 but VS got an error.

Whoops... the name of the new method is SaveTo and not SaveAs 😅
Sorry for the confusion
