Media Center 12.0.51
Doof:
I hate to say it, but I really don't like what was done with the Tag window in this build (or was it in .50?).
I liked being able to specify groups of tags to display, like "Show Empty Tags" "Show Non Empty Tags" etc. Having to pick and choose individual tags to show now really makes this thing an absolute bear to use.
Why was this changed? The Tag Window in MC12 seems to be taking a lot of steps backwards IMO.
Also, the "Other Media Type Tags" thing seems to be broken. I select an audio file, click on "Other Media Type Tags" and I'm presented with "Bad Pixels, Episode, Series, People, Places, Events" etc. How are these related to the media type of audio?
I don't a ton of tagging, but when I do, I want the software to work with me, not bury everything in such a way that when I want to fill in an empty tag I have to scroll through a huge list of available tags to find the one I want, select it, then click on it to fill it in. The Tag AW wasn't perfect before this change, but it was much better than this. I really think you should take a look at what made MC11's tag window useful (the groups, visible tags, etc) and combine that with the strengths of MC12's. What's there right now is just really painful to use.

I like the semi columns tag action screen but not when going to another file it goes back to the default tag screen in stead of staying at the semi column tag screen.
for the rest I agree with Doof

Tags for other media types. Perhaps we should hide them all together.

This is why we changed it. Before, empty tags would be hidden by default. Now, you say what tags you work with and then they're always one-click away.
Alex B:
There is still no way to remove an accidental rating (it was possible in MC11.1).
That can be a problem for example with rating based smartlists or if the user just wants to keep the files unrated until they are properly evalueted.

Actually you can if you click a little to the right of the stars (just like in the file list). This isn't very clear, but I'm not sure what would make it more clear.
