TagBox Tag Editing Plugin, UI Element Options

[Arash]

Hello Everybody,

I needed something like this but couldn't find any so I wrote it myself!
It is something like an editable "properties" window in a UI element with "quick tagger" like features and a little more.

Here is more info and download link.

Check it out and let me know what you think

We are not talking about the field which requires at least one letter to open the popupmenu but the content of dropdown box.
Any chance to see 2E7AH's idea implemented.

Now I see what you're talking about. I like the idea myself as I told 2E7AH but making such thing is not easy I need to have a lot of free time to code something like that. Hope I can find it soon.

Why not launch window directly from "TagBox" entry? No need for a submenu.

Because of my laziness There used to be some other submenus which I moved to TagBox window's right-click menu. I'll make it a single item eventually.

Seems to be down:

Can't find version 1.71.
Check box "active" doesn't work.
Captions in configuration window are truncated on my system. Probably a DPI setting issue. (I have 115 instead of default 96 DPI.)

What about this, no redesign of dropdown box needed, just a behaviour change of fields which are multivalue and autocomplete:
1. Type first letters of desired value in tag field
2. Select value from popping up autocomplete list
3. Type semicolon (or click a button)
4. Again type first letters of additional value
5. Again autocomplete list is launched
6. Select another value
I miss something like that in foobar core.

Some remarks on the documentation:

• Pressing Enter applies the changes.

When selecting item from autocomplete list no Enter needed.

• Pressing Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+Down when only one track is selected applies the change and moves the selection to next track in play list.

Ctrl+Down doesn't work with autocomplete fields. Ctrl+Enter should be recommended.

• There is a context menu (tracks' right click menu) option to set track number to track's index in current selection.

The phrase "tracks' right click menu" is misleading.

• Right-Click any tag's label to access more options like "Auto Track Number", "Correct Capitalization" or "Filename -> Tag" functions.

Should be merged with previous instruction.

• You can enter an alternative tag for auto-complete to for example have a custom "guitar player" tag but get the list of suggestions from the "artist" tag.

I wouldn't use it, cause it's a core feature ("+"-seperated fields in Preferences › Advanced › Display › Autocomplete fields)

Maybe it is a good idea to let it look like selection properties. Means: no grid view but alternate colors and column headers - that seems more friendly to me.

Agreed.
