There was still a setting in writeAllTags when I closed down my PC but a fresh start of Windows and MinimServer this morning also made no difference. Note that this instance of MinimServer is handling the music files on my NAS - at least, it claims to be MinimServer (it was actually created by MinimWatch).

I tried the same things on a separate instance of MinimServer that deals with music files on my PC and this time it worked, though only if the specified writeAllTags file was already in existence, i.e. MinimServer would not create the file.

This topic would benefit from a more detailed explanation in the User's Guide.

There is a bug with using a relative filename on Windows or Mac. I will fix this in the next release. Thanks for letting me know about this.

I have no problems when using an absolute filename on Windows. Please try specifying an absolute filename in the C:\Users\<your-user-name>\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\data folder. By doing this, I was able to use MinimServer to create a new file for the writeAllTags output, as expected. It might be that the folder you used for your previous test had a permissions problem with creating new files.

I will add more detailed information to the User guide section that describes this property.
