Doof: Action Window tagging
« on: August 09, 2006, 06:34:08 pm »
Doof,

Try the build that just went up.  The menu doesn't disappear with each change.  This should make it a lot more usable.

The hybrid of letting users pick fields plus pick groups of fields wasn't doing well in some usability we ran.  It was clear we needed to simplify the tag window if we wanted normal people to be able to understand it.

Thanks.

It'd be great if we could save favorite configs...

Depending on what your tagging, or doing in MC, you may want different fields to show.
So to be able to goto a certain config easily, I think would be a big +

Second that!
For instance, if you're tagging audio, you use one set of tags, video a whole different set. To show both all the time would clutter things...

Customization of the tags that get shown is already saved per media type.

works well too. I'm warming quite nicely to the latest setup.
------------------------
no more statistics?
------------------------
and any thoughts on this previous comment?

I absolutely love this...

It needs finishing though. As it is, it's pretty pointless because it's not there long enough to read any more than a line or two... If the mouse were moved over the popup, perhaps it could stay on view untill the moused is removed or clicked? Needs to be scrollable or bigger by default too.
------------------------
how do we reset the playcounts field now?

Ok, that's nice.

But...

Not all of my media types share the same sets of tags.

For instance, some of my videos will have Series, Season, and Episode, while others will have Album, Sub Album 1, and Sub Album 2. In MC11, I could set up my view schemes to show the relevant columns, then set the Tag AW to display the fields in the current view.

And apparently I was the only one who liked the ability to hide empty fields. It made for a great display of your tags, and one check was all you needed to show all of the empty tags for those times when you needed to fill them in.

Honestly, if you brought back those two options, I'd be happy. All of the other stuff I mentioned was due to complaints I'd read in here about all the other functionality that'd been removed.
