"Import Metadata from File" is ambigious

[Daniel Schürmann]

This is a button Label in Track Properties dialog.
From which file? The user might expect to select a file. Instead all edits are instantly gone.

"Import Metadata from Sound File"

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Or "Re-Import from file" "Import from file again"

It is probably a Translation issue

In German we have:
"Metadaten aus Datai importieren"

"Datei erneut einlesen"

"audio file"

Button labels should be short and are the wrong choice for communicating detailed information. Time to rethink this UI design.

Hm, I personally find "from File" and "from Audio File" equally ambiguous.

I think Daniel's "Re-import" idea is the best fix, because it makes it clearer you aren't going to b be asked to pick a file.
