Hello, even though 'File -\> Options -\> Tags -\> Save tags when using arrow keys' is turned off, I am still finding tags being written to disc when a tag field loses focus. I would like to be able to prepare all the tags for a group of files first, then write them to disc in one operation. Is this possible? ---

Instead of entering data in the file list, select the files and enter the data in the tag panel, then press Ctrl-S to save. It will not really work for data that is individual to single files, though. ---

I understand, many thanks ---
