hi, I have created a column with the value of %\_filename% and a drop-down box on the tag-panel with the same variable. Difference is, in the column the correct filename is shown, but on the tag-panel the drop-down is empty, just after the starting Mp3tag with a bunch of files.  
Any idea? Thx, Burkhard
