There is Mp3tag in Microsoft Store. Is that the preferred version over the classical one that we have to use setup? Thanks

The version available via the Microsoft Store now also comes with a Explorer context-menu extension starting with v3.11b so that there should be no differences anymore.

I would not prefer it as the store versions does not have all the features like the explorer context menu.

The store version is identical to the version distributed via the website, except for the following differences: Features It doesn't come with the Explorer context-menu extension to open files and folders via right-click "Mp3tag". It supports auto-updating without the need for manual download. V…

Except the Explorer context-menu extension, the others are not important to me. But the context menu extension is very convenient. I have installed the Store-based app for a test. I found that I couldn't even do a "Open with" which is really bad. Obviously, it's a matter of programming because I…

I have installed the v3.11b from Microsoft Store and I confirm that context menu extension is working. However, this extension only works after Windows session reopening. I think it is worth to mention this point or users might think it is not working. Since context menu extension is working, it'…

I have just installed the v3.12 from Microsoft store but the context menu extension is not working again. Regression?

Can you give a little more details? Have you restarted your machine. Is this under Windows 11 or 10. If it's the former, is it missing from the main context menu in Windows File Explorer or from the classic that is displayed via Show more options?

I didn't restart my computer because that was not necessary in v3.11b. Personally, I would consider that a software requiring a computer restart as not mature enough. However, I didn't distinguish Win11 from Win10, indeed. Let me check this point first and come back later.

OK, I've done the test in both Win10 & 11. Here is a summary of the results. NOTE: I have Win10 ver 21H2 and Win11 ver 21H2 MP3TAG that is being tested is ver 3.12 in both Microsoft Store and setup I know the existence of "simplified context menu" in Win11. So this is not the cause. After every…

I thougth that a shell extension is something that the explorer manages and that the explorer has to register the shell extension. To do that, the explorer has to be restarted. So, IMHO, it is irrelevant how often MP3tag is started to show the shell extension. If you do not get the shell extensio…

Thanks for your extensive tests. I'm not sure if it's a regression, because you've mentioned before that [image] Horus: this extension only works after Windows session reopening The problem with the Store installation is, that there is no installer I can use to refresh the shell. It's really…
