Title: Taging&importing tips and tricks needed, and small feature requests
Post by: runemail on October 25, 2009, 08:23:35 am

Looking to improve my work flow when taging and importing music into MC14:

First one is simple? I keep my unimported music in a folder on the network. I would like to pin this folder to the main menu on the left for easy access, but how?

Then when its time to tag and add metadata I would like to just rewrite tags in MC14 to get better consistency before I import, havent found a quick command to do this. How to do this quick and easy? perhaps a toolbar button for this?

And then its time to import into my library. The rename, move & copy files function is really working well, but its annoying that it remembers all the settings and not the main action from last used. I use the Copy feature 95% of the time and I have to select this every time as it defaults to Rename every time! And perhaps a toolbar button, or even better a keyboard shortcut for this function as well?

There are some good suggestions in My workflow and thoughts on the unification of Library Tools in MC (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=54262.msg370028#msg370028).

i agree with this 100%. lost files because of this, when copying several files to a memorie stick, but forgot, apparently to reselect copy one time...

Yeah, I am going to try and set up a workaround that includes duplicating my folder to a new folder (this to workaround the fact that MC14 defaults to rename files in the rename, move & copy files function). import this folder and "hide" it from my ordinary views and creating a new view that displays only this folder.

Will try to report back my findings.

This is however not a very elegant solution, but it should get the job done kind of. I was hoping for a little less hassle than this.

So my feature requests still stands, especially the last two.
