MinimServer 2 works great for me

The output of writeAllTags does NOT take the tag update file into account. The other thread raised this as an inconsistency in the documentation and the documentation has now been corrected.

Both a rescan and a restart DO take the tag update file into account. I think this means your workflow should be:

1) Make changes to the library
2) Do a rescan to create an all tags file that matches 1)
3) Run your utility to produce a tag update file using the output from 2)
4) Do a restart to apply the output of 3) to your view of the library
