An Action on its own is more or less a single command. An action group is a collection of commands. An action group can/must have a unique name of your choice. An action (command) naturally has to have a predefined name - otherwise Mp3tag would not understand it. If I look at your screen dump then it looks to me as though you put all action commands into a single action group. This means: you cannot rename the commands. You would have to create a new action group (Menu Actions\>Actions), click the "New" button enter a name that makes sense to you fill this action group with action commands in the following dialogue. As the action groups have user-defined names, you can enter special characters to pimp the appearance & adds the next letter as hotkey # indicates a (grouping) submenu, e.g. Track#Counter Track#2-digits would add the submenu "Track" to the Menu Actions and have 2 menu functions: Counter and Track. ---
