Perhaps I have missed it along the way, but is there a shortcut that quickly filters the list of files to those with more than 64 characters? Yes, I know I can type in a formula when filtering is on (and I have done it in the past) .. but it would be sooooo much easier to have a shortcut that did it automatically so I know which files need attention before archiving to DVD.
Again, it might already be there.
Keep up the great work!! MP3tag continues to be one of my most often used programs.

No, something like that does not exist.

I've added a new column in grid view to notify me when there is a filename longer than 64 chars.
You can add the following lines to your personal Mp3tag columns.ini file or do the changes manually in the column dialog:
[#4]
width=30
numeric=0
name=!
value=**$ifgreater($len(%\_filename\_ext%),64,'!'$len(%\_filename\_ext%),%DUMMY%)**
sort=
field=

That works!!! Thanks for the column suggestion.
