Also not entirely happy with how the properties pane lumps all properties together in a single list. I liked how it was divided into sections that could be rolled up.

In the file properties pane ("General" visible), the drop-down list for the Genre allows you to select the divider ("-") as the Genre. The tags will get updated with this if you move on to another field or track.
Please, keep the divider it's nice to have the current genre at the top of the listbut if the user selects it, maybe you can just ignore it and keep the current value, yes?

Not to counter your vote in this pseudo-democracy , but I like this new method. Before, it was slightly annoying how expanding or collapsing a section would always reset the scrollable view to the top. For instance, when I would expand "Audio," I would then have to scroll back down to where I already was at to see it. Not good.

I like the new properties - they are much more clearly arranged now. Less confusion, less scrolling... and "Same As Columns In Current View" allows you to customize it a little bit to your needs... you are now able to see only the fields that you use in the order you prefer - very nice
Two little things are missing in "Same As Columns In Current View":
- Renamed 'Custom' fields don't show their "new" names
- Even if 'Image File' is used as a column, it's not shown in the properties

I was really too quick in writing that. I've been messing around with it for the past half hour or whatever and I'm growing more accustomed to it. I've been leaving it on "Same as Column Views" and it's is less cluttered, etc. Just a matter of adjusting, that's all!

New Tagging mode and properties are good. Only isues I can se are minor. That quick tag message written in the panes is annoying and is also too long to display properly unless there are only two columns. Most of my VS have 3 so it is never fully displayed. Could it not be a pop up with a "Do not show this again" as Jim initially suggested. I can understand the hand holding for noobs but once youve seen the message a couple of times it surely becomes unecessary and at that point it becomes annoying

New retooling of properties area is great in that it's a lot clearer now than with the old groups.
Being able to chose just one group now to display means that its even harder though than when we could just open or close any group to edit values now in the current view.
If we're going to only be able to display one group at a time then we need to be able to change which groups items are in - including already defined items.

There's already an option for "User Fields" to do that... Tree & View Settings > Library Fields > Edit. In the "Configure Library Field" dialog the Category can be changed (For non "User Fields" this option is greyed out). Maybe it can be enabled for all fields...

Quote:17. NEW: Added "Same As Columns In Current View" for File Properties visible fields.
- This is good as we now only see the relevant properties for a given media. However when in Visible Fields / All categories I was expecting the old properties scheme with the hide/show category button but apparently it has dissapeared now. I think it was better.
- Date (filename friendly) seems to have dissapeared
New properties pane.

- (edit: sorry again, it's a read-only field of course !!) Date (filename friendly) seems to have dissapeared
