NEW: Enhanced Tag Window

(1/5) > >>

Matt:
As part of MC23, we feature a new tagging window in the Action Window.

It's extremely flexible, so hopefully you can tweak and customize it to your liking.

Open the tag window, then click the icon at the top left and pick “Customize...”.  With that tool you can completely customize what tags appear and for what files.

There's a list of templates, and you can add new templates.  The templates are evaluated in order until one with a matching search is found.  As a simple example, the search [Media Type]=[Image] is used to flag the “Image” template.

Then on any template, you can add any fields.  There are also some special additions including “Add Visible Fields”, “Add All Fields”, “Add Fields With Values”, “Add Playlists”, “Add Image”, and “Add Tag Dump”.

You can also add any individual field in the library or even an expression.

The expanded and collapsed states of the groups in the tag window should be remembered between runs and opens.

The “Tag Dump” is an output from the file of all the tags in the file.  It will be a little different for every file type but it includes all the tag information from the file.

The “Add Fields With Values” only shows library fields that have a value, so it's a nice way to see a condensed list of options.

The “Add Visible Fields” option shows the fields that are visible in your library view.  That way you can customize both your visible columns and the tags to show at the same time.

If you have any questions or requests about the new window, post them here.  Thanks.

The customize capability is really useful. It takes a couple of tries to decide how best to use it, but once set up it really helps.

Can you change Tag Dump to something more descriptive. That is the term that has been used in MC for years, but it really does not tell a new user what it does. Something like Tags in File or even Tag Dump from File would be more useful.  My guess is that new users have no idea what it means when the first see it.

David Sydney:
Thanks for the updated Tag window.

Just had a thought or improvement idea. On audio tags, recently I added a few albums that have a name for the disk one, disk 2 in a set. eg. George Michael Ladies and Gentlemen. Tom Tom Club.

Ca the disk number tag be changed to an alpha numeric so I can enter the name of the disk?  I know there are work arounds with other tags but this would be more elegant?

Ahime:
Hi

I'd be grateful if you could add on  [Edit in Popup] in Comment field, like a Description tag.

Thank you

Am I missing something?

I don't seem to be able to switch between templates to actually USE them?

I am able to select template to edit and can create template, but I am stuck on the top template and unable to switch to another.

I select 'Customize'.
It brings up the Customize window and my current template is listed with a drop down menu showing all others.

Choosing a different template from the drop down menu brings up that template to edit.

When I hit 'Ok' and exit out of the Customize window, my template NEVER CHANGES TO ANOTHER.
