      Add option NOT to update (pre-)existing data.                                                             Default option to blank (ie. update everything) to keep current processing the same.

      ie. add missing fields/tags but only update existing fields/tags if they are blank (or zero).

      This is essentially a safe mode.

      For example my classical releases feature the performing artist(s) as the artists and I don’t wish them overwritten with the composer. It’s for anyone with different tagging needs.

      In execution this would require a test of the flag before overwritng any existing record field/tag and if not blank (or zero) then not updating that particular field/tag. It might need a modified yes/no flag to be set for the record/file concerned as if no changes are made to it no update would be required (which technically might mean it needs releasing/unlocking instead).
