Matching:
- Prefer the studio album over singles, EPs and compilations when a song
exists on several releases, including when the master also has the
single at the slave's exact folder.
- Ignore release labels (Single Version, Remastered, Explicit, Deluxe)
inside brackets or a trailing " - ..." part; "Clean" stays a version.
- Treat live/acoustic/remix/... album folders as different recordings;
the strict top-folder fallback now respects this too.
- Add a last-resort library-wide search that only accepts candidates whose
artist tag agrees with the slave file.
Linking:
- Cross-folder matches now mirror the master's path in the slave (e.g. a
single moves into the album folder) and prune the emptied folder; a
"keep in current folder" option preserves the old behaviour. Undo
recreates and prunes folders accordingly.
- Operations record the match kind and reason, so undo (and promotes that
rename the master file) restore the correct pairing instead of leaving
the file unmatched until the next scan.
UI: rewrite the approximate matching description with Avenged Sevenfold
examples and clear safeguards, and show where linking will place a file.
