Hi,

After editing a directory, I would like to clear all files from my view.

How do I do that?

This is because my mp3s are all over the place, and I like to drag and drop them into mp3tag.

Thanks

You can select all files and press DEL  
But if you add a file by drag&drop the list is automatically cleared.

Be aware that you can press the [Ctrl] key to add files by drag&drop.
