Title: Feature request: on import, auto tag
Post by: park on April 04, 2006, 07:42:11 am

Hi,
I'm currently still tagging the "moods" field of my library, and I've been thinking more and more that, especially when importing files, I tend to tag most of them to the same values first and then refine them over time. it would be really good if you could set default values for each field in the import process somehow.

By extension, it would be nice if we could also set how the album field of images and video are populated by default.

Can you speak on this a little more. I don't have a clear picture of what you mean but I'm all ears.

Ok so for audio files I have the following custom tags assigned with a value (in brackets) for all files:
Custom 1 (Album/EP/Single/Mix Album/Episode)
Ipod (Yes/No)
Custom 2 (Backed Up/Not backed Up)


For Images I have the following tags:
Country
Area
Places
Source (Personal/External/Work)
Project


Now, for the majority of all the files that i import, the values for those tags I just listed are basically the same.  It would be a time saver if MC could fill out all those fields with a default that I can set so that I only have to change the fields that are different.
Hope that's clearer.
