I just downloaded 2.17 and notice the checkboxes are missing when converting filename to tag !! 😳
[2003-12-16] CHG: removed checkboxes for preview at 'Filename - Tag' and
```
'Taglist-File - Tag'
```
but why remove this?
how am i gonna choose which tags i want and wich i don't? I really liked the checkboxes!
Allthough i like the %title% vars I will revert to using 2.16.
what a shame ☹

hi jurgen
u can still choose what tags u want to write
if u dont want a tag to be written, u write %dummy% instead of the normal placehodler,
like:
%artist%-%title%
%dummy%-%title% would only write information to the title field
🙂

god, I _really_ don't like how its implemented now! ☹
also the preview text is very confusing for a quick check,
it say's
track: 01
artist: Michael Jackson
title: Beat It
see?
it not even alligned, so its very hard to tell a in quick glance if every thing is allright.
