Tag Info -> Add Tag thoughts
« on: June 29, 2006, 02:14:45 am »

Since my experience with the Tag Info / Add tag hasn't been that good yet, I'm a bit confused with Add Tag. Initially, it could mean both "Add tag to file" and "Add tag to the list".
When I tried it on some different filetypes (images and video), different thing happens.

The procedure:
1. selecting a file
2. Clicking Add Tag
3. Selecting Last Played in the list

The result:
Video: The Tag Info box changes to a black box, header name becomes Last Played, a dropdown-box appears with the date. An arrow to go back resides next to it.


Scratch the above analyze.
I'm starting over. Now, the Add Tag doesn't do as it did yesterday. It seems that whatever I choose, this black box appears with the dropdown and the back arrow.

Help me out! WHAT IS THE TAG INFO?

Actually, the black box might be a bug.
I found a field [Keywords] that didn't show the black box. It prompted me to add a new keyword, I didn't, but clicked OK (there is no Cancel), a checkbox with an empty line appeared, I right-clicked the empty line, the black box appeared, MC crashed.

We know there's some work to do here.

Once we get Otto up and running, this is next on the list.

Matt--

10-4 on the to-do list.  I think the tag window is a great, great idea.  Following marty's path, I can see that a lot of stuff is still TBD.  I think you need an "edit Tag" in addition to "Add Tag", and of course figure out a different name for "Tag Dump", which is currently just a little too vivid.

Also, I know there's a movement afoot against the name "DSP Studio", but I like it a lot.  I think you ought to call "Tag Info" "Tag Studio" instead, as this is a workplace for tagging stuff.

All in all, the lower-left corner really seems to have been empowered in v12.  Very cool.

Dump to me means list, which is what it does.
But Complete Tags would be accurate IMO.

I too find this window useful and informative now.
Hope it makes good progress.
