Tagger.exe (which is my favourite tagging frontend, made by Bureck) doesn't save its configuration very well.
Can I save my configuration by editing tagger.ini?
My problem is:
Tagger.exe always starts up with "Use APEv2 with MPC" (Tab: 'Tag' / Button: 'Tag formats') checked and than writes APE tags to my FLAC files.
I use it in combination with Synthetic Soul's latest version of tag.exe.
Can I change or write something in tagger.ini to uncheck "Use APEv2 with MPC" or do something else that APE tags won't be written to my FLAC files??
TIA

I've had a look at Tagger and I really can't see why this is happening. I've looked at the source, and I still can't see why it is happening!
Your best bet is to see if the author will fix (I can confirm the bug).
Alternatively, get someone else with a Delphi compiler to fix and compile. If I had one I would.
Maybe the answer would be more obvious by looking at the source in a compiler... maybe the checkbox isn't really called "cbApe2"... or maybe I'm just being blind.

Thanks for looking into this.
The INI-Saving bug is known to the author, it is listed on the tagger website. I think he stopped working on tagger.exe.
As I have no programming skills, I hoped there was a simple working around by editing the INI file. I guess there is not.

Unfortunately not. The INI changes as it should. The code looks like it should set the checkbox according to the INI (I'm not a Delphi programmer, but the code is exactly the same as that for checkboxes that do work correctly).
I can only assume that the checkbox is set by default in the form code, i.e.: it is first set according to the INI, and then just set as checked anyway when the form renders.
It should be a simple fix for a Delphi programmer, or even anyone with a Delphi compiler. Unfortunately I am neither.

OK, that is the way it is.
Thanks for your effort.

It's frustrating. I believe that I have even found the problem.
In uMain.dfm, lines 458-459 there is:
CODE
Checked = True
State = cbChecked
These lines simply need removing, IMH(and uneducated)O. How frustrating!
Maybe a kind Delphi developer will see this and do something about it...

That would be very nice.
