I'd like to see the "Always On Top" option added to the "General" options which would force Mp3Tag window staying on top of other programs, if selected.

Reasoning is simple: I often drag-and-drop files from my file manager to Mp3Tag and since Mp3Tag loses focus and goes into background, this task is somewhat awkward. With Mp3Tag being always on top, the drag-and-drop operations would go smoother.

Thanks for reading.

Until that request is granted, you may be able to help yourself:

This is not something that is planned for the near future. The common way to bring a window to the foreground during a drag and drop operation:

1. Drag the files,
2. move the cursor to the program's entry on the task bar,
3. pause for a moment to make the window come to the foreground, and
4. end the drag and drop operation.
