I'd like to start up with no directory. It takes time to read in a directory that I'm not interested in editing. On File -> Options -> Directories. I have no Favorite Directory, and start from this directory is unchecked. But it still starts up in the last used directory. If I blank before closing, …

Try pointing it to a temp directory as the default, I use the one I rip to, since once I have made edits to anything new, I move them to my library location. So that folder is otherwise empty, and mp3tag opens blank.

Oh, do you really have such a long-winded workflow in which you first open the program and then add files instead of starting with a program that has loaded all the files that you want to treat right at start-up?

I do have a regular folder with files with unclean tags. But it often is filled with files I haven't gotten around to processing. And I'm often working on a folder elsewhere where I have stumbled on junky tags. I really like the right click suggestion. That is the best for me. However, Mp3tag doesn…

[image] ohrenkino: So, what have you set in File>Options>Directory? Bingo! It's an old directory, that doesn't exist. I migrated Mp3tag from my previous laptop, and that directory doesn't exist on the new one. So an answer is: Create a folder on Windows. Set it in Mp3tag. Delete said folder …

I'm trying to digest the adding of Mp3tag to the context menu. I don't have Windows 11, I have 10. But I did upgrade to the 64-bit version. And after I upgraded, I deleted the 32-bit version. I will be buying a new computer soon -- waiting on those supply chain problems -- and it will have 11. I ha…
