Mirko,
The tag info saving to file would be done exactly as it is done now - that wouldn't change so nothing would change there.
This would be a purely cosmetic/GUI change in terms of organisation, all the functionality is already there, just how the fields are gouped changes.
And as for generalised tags - it doesn't work for a 'One stop solution to all your media' - you need to be able to have fields specific to your media type and even one type of file can have many different uses with different information.
- Take an mp3 - it can be music with artist, album, track # etc
or it can be a lecture with: Lecturer, Topic, Class, etc.
- Photo's I dont want: Artist, Name, Album
I want: People, Country, Place, Event, etc.
- Video's - I want: Choreographer, Dancers, Show, Time, Music - for my dance performance video's
same ones as standard for music for my music video's along with the above info
Home video's I want more the same as I do for photos' etc.
And it's going to change for EVERYONE depending on THEIR media and what they want to save.
Having to put information in the wrong fields
works but is not efficient or clear to anyone except us as to what we've done.
I could put choreographer in the artist field but it just make the whole thing more confusing and less clear to me or anyone else
