-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Mp3/Tag Studio Suggestions +---Topic: Small pet peave -- extended tags started by calberga Posted by: calberga on Aug. 30 2006,03:15 This program is go good if feels petty to complain, but what the hell--- I used the "more" (extended tags) in the mass setting tab quite a lot. It is a minor bother that one has to first uncheck the "more" box, then re-check it in order to open the window and change a value. Would it be possible to have distinct actions (a check-box and a button, say) to open the extra window and to cause its contents to be ignored? On the same tack, I find that (in browse/edit) that when I open the extended tag display it is rather hard to position in so that it doesn't overlap some part of the main window. Unfortunately I don't have any bright ideas for a redesign of the GUI. The display on the "Quintessential Player" (from Quinnware) in the "developement release 112" seems to incorporate the extended tags in a rather nice way. I must say I am not happy with 112 (QMP) itself -- it has a very bossy library system which I find gets thing wrong a lot of the time (at least you can turn it off), and is rather buggy -- but very much like the "current" program, QCD. But, as I say, the tagging interface, while very primitive compared to mp3/tag s. in function, does show more of the v2 tags in a rather nice, integrated way. I'm particularly interested in the TPEn and TITn tags (and I note that TIT2 is missing from the Mass Set tab). They would be of great help in tagging most classical, and some pop & folk files. Anyway, something for consideration. Posted by: Magnus Brading on Aug. 30 2006,11:35 First of all, "TIT2" is missing from the extended frames dialog because it actually is the "main" title frame, e.g. the one you set from the main controls (i.e. the "normal title field"). About the GUI things, I made all these decisions as compromises between GUI clutter and ease of use, and my conclusion in this case was that one extra mouse click was worth more than an extra button, especially considering that relatively few people will use these controls, sorry about that. More practical suggestions are always welcome for consideration though. ![]() end |
