Quick Tagger Options

[Peter]

Quick Tagger adds customizable context menu commands for quickly setting tag fields to preconfigured values (for rating and such). Can be used to bind keyboard shortcuts to simple tag modifications.

Quick Tagger is meant to replace bind-keyboard-shortcuts-to-simple-tag-edit functionality of the old Masstagger component. It's not meant to be a complete tag editing solution replacing the Properties dialog or other tag editing related components.

To understand what you mean could you describe me in few words how such a component could look like?

Not like a submenu but instead a dialog or panel - with all mood-related settings being visible. Its not just UI stuff but also behaviour.... manually tagging every single track/album may be annoying. One could use tricks like that the user doesnt actually tag the files himself and instead just sets his current mood or the mood of the music in a panel - with the component then automatically applying those settings to every fully played track. So, you just tell it the current mood of the music... and it cares itself about the tagging. The reason why such a mode may work, is because if you're a mood-type listener, then mood wont change drastically with every played track :) Also - the same component could be used for autogenerating playlists which fit certain mood criteria. There are many possibly interesting things which could be done, which are not the point of quicktagger.... but i'm getting off-topic here - if you want to discuss this further, it may make sense to start a seperate topic

The "old" possibly refers to the last released version, not to what you do with your internet connection.

- ability to add/modify more than one tag at once. It comes down to adding MassTagger scripts to the context menu, which was my request I've mentioned above.

If you want configurable contextmenu in masstagger, then why do you post this request in Quicktagger-thread instead of in a Masstagger-thread? Are you proposing to "add masstagger to quicktagger" instead of "add contextmenu-options to masstagger"? If yes, could it be that this doesnt make any sense at all?

I did post my request in the MassTagger thread and you did post in this very thread (just a few posts below mine).

From what I gather, you can't see any relation between adding scripts to a context menu component (QuickTagger) and adding context menus to a tagging component (MassTagger). Well, I'm afraid I cannot help you.

My previous post is only meant as a request to Peter. If my request doesn't make any sense to him, he'll simply ignore it or, maybe, tell me why he won't implement it. But, please, refrain from interfering just for the sake of it. It's pointless.
