Hello everyone, I sometimes have a problem when I click on the "Actions" icon: the window that opens covers this icon. So that an action at the top of the window runs accidentally (mouse click bounces? but it happens to me with different mice). I worked around the problem by creating 3 empty actions which I placed at the very top of the list. Name of action group: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The ideal would be to display the action list window under the "Actions" icon. A tip for those who haven't thought of it: I organize my list of actions by inserting empty actions that I name with the name of the section. Example : I------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I ------------------ CLASSEMENT ALBUMS ANNEES DECROISSANTES --------------- I Albums sort inverse ' ' I----------------------------- DIMENSION SI UNE POCHETTE -------------------------------- I Dimension si 1 pochette l ---------------------------- DIMENSION SI PLUSIEURS POCHETTES ------------------- I Step 1 Get Cover Info \_ I Step 2 MENU OUTILS Run Batch Mp3tag.magick.identify.cmd I Step 3 Get Cover Info Set Tags from ImageMagick identify I Step 4 MENU OUTILS Run Batch Suppression fichier TXT.cmd I------------------------------------------ AJOUT PLAYLIST ------------------------------------------- I Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList Générale Squeezebox sur SERVER I Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList 80' SqueezeBox sur SERVER I Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList Général SqueezeBox sur Toshiba I ----------------------------------------- SUPRESSION PLAY LIST -------------------------------- I Step 1 Suppression piste(s) de PIayList Générale sur Cube I Step 1 Suppression piste(s) de PIayList 80's sur Cube I Step 2 MENU OUTILS Run Suppression Piste(s) PIayList Général (peu importe les fichiers sélectionnés) I ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---

The "Actions" button in the toolbar has 2 functions: the picture and the arrow-down button. When I click on the picture, the Actions dialogue opens there, where I moved it last time. So if that is your problem: grab the dialogue at the dialogue title bar and drag it somewhere else, further away from the button. When I click on the arrow-down part, I get a menu with the defined actions - which behaves like any other menu. So: does this what you describe happen also to other menus and their functions? Because, quite honestly, I cannot reproduce it. ---

Good morning ohrenkino It's when I click on the down arrow part that the problem occurs. I specify that I have many actions. So I get a big window with 2 small arrows to navigate the list that covers the "actions" icon and I can't move or resize it. ![Icon actions problem](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/0/056b7cd8435b6ba90a23347f9f795cab7967dc9c.jpeg) ---

I see. I would then like to draw your attention to ways to structure the actions menu with submenus: > **[Actions – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/#submenus-in-the-actions-menu)** > > Documentation on Quick Actions and Action Groups that covers replace text, case conversion, tag to tag conversion, duplicate field handling, batch cover import/export, and more. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor. So you could use the subtitles that currently gobble up space as a submenu anchor - and save vertical space. If you rename > [@olivierq02](#): > > I------------------------------------------ AJOUT PLAYLIST ------------------------------------------- > I Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList Générale Squeezebox sur SERVER > I Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList 80' SqueezeBox sur SERVER > I Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList Général SqueezeBox sur Toshiba To: ```auto AJOUT PLAYLIST#Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList Générale Squeezebox sur SERVER AJOUT PLAYLIST#Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList 80' SqueezeBox sur SERVER AJOUT PLAYLIST#Ajout Piste(s) dans PIayList Général SqueezeBox sur Toshiba ``` then you would have only 1 line in the menu: AJOUT PLAYLIST, opening a submenu with 3 entries. ---
