Morning, replying to my own thread as I've discovered something relevant to this issue.
This morning a random song import behaved as it should, with the option for Title: Guess Title From Filename and with the editor opening up after import. Once again I looked at the file permissions etc. but failed to notice anything different, then I noticed that the opening { bracket for the title was missing, so I added it back and did a fresh import of the song, it failed to have the option for Title: Guess Title From Filename and the editor failed to open after import.
I have tested this on several files and using {t:} and t:} as well as {title:} and title:} and the behaviour is the same with all of them, without the opening { bracket it works perfectly, with the bracket and it fails. Obviously this doesn't work for importing as the title isn't recognised by the system when displaying the song and it renders it as plain text with title: in front of it and previously when I've noticed this I've probably just edited the file to make it work and did a file swap, so no re-importing and therefore failed to make the connection.
It's odd and I still have no idea why this should make a difference, but at least I have discovered something that has an effect on it!
Cheers
David
