this is an incremental update and includes all changes since version 2.4 - unzip and then run MusicBee_Setup_2_5_5509.exe

- the continuous folder monitor has been enhanced as follows
- it now detects updates to files and will refresh the cached value
- it now detects files deleted and will remove them from the library/ playlists
- it now detects files renamed in the existing folder and updates the library/ playlists
- however, if you move a file from one folder to another outside of MusicBee then because of the way Windows works, the monitor detects that as a deletion and then adding the file back into the library with no linkage between the 2 messages. As such you would lose the playcount and the file removed from playlists ie. best to re-organise files inside of MusicBee rather than externally
- on startup, any monitored folders will now detect updates and deletions. Any deletions detected on startup will prompt for confirmation the links should be removed from your library. Renamed/ moved files would be detected as a deletion and addition with the same issue as the previous point
- the existing "check for updated or missing files" still works the same as previous 2.5 version. The difference is it detects updates/ deletions for all files in the library not just ones in monitored folders
- a new hotkey to open the Tag Inspector - "Edit: Inspect Tags"
- you can now create a virtual device from the Devices preferences panel and it now allows you to choose any folder as the root folder for the virtual device
- MusicBee now allows you to edit read-only files and prompts to remove the read-only flag from the file if you attempt to save the file
- this is definitely the last v2.5 beta, so please report any bugs you find
