Currently, on my computers, when I drag and drop files and/or folders into MP3Tag, they replace the files/folders that were already loaded. Is there any way to change this behavior so that additional dragged/dropped files and folder are added to the ones already loaded? I don’t see anything in the options that looks like it would pertain to that. If not, has this been considered as a feature request? It would also be nice, when adding folders via menu FILE \> ADD DIRECTORY, to be able to select multiple folders to add. ---

To _add_ files or folders, hold the CTRL key when you drop them. ---

Doh! Can’t believe I didn’t think of that! Thanks! ---
