Any chance an option could be added to automatically answer OK TO ALL when renaming files? Clicking this 1000s of times gives RSI, and using macOS Automator works but is much slower than if the feature was built-in. thank you in advance. [Screenshot 2023-08-19 at 9.56.57 am]

I've added an option to stop, skip, and rename (with apply to all) on errors when renaming files with Mp3tag for Mac 1.8.13 .

There have been several similar discussions in the past about this. See here for some perspective on the thoughts around OK to All. [image] [Idea] Ignore Errors, bulk skip un-editable files General Discussion I have been using the program for a long time, sometimes it fail…

Thank you for your response. The referenced discussion doesn't appear to offer a solution; rather, it confirms that the feature in question is unavailable and will not be added. the only way around it is to check the files first for integrity.and then tag only the ones that prove to be ok. In my…

[image] triks_melb: I can appreciate implementing such feature would be timely but wanted to share my user experience with MP3TAG on Mac. Thanks for your feedback and the suggestion. You're not the first to ask for that and it's on my list. In your case, an OK for all option might help at ide…

thanks Florian, perhaps as a global option at least.

I think it's better done on a per feature-invocation basis and I've already started working on such "Apply to All" options in other parts of the app. See this one for example, when writing tags fails for a file: [image]

Hi Florian, yes that would be perfect!

The thread I referenced wasn’t a solution, but a discussion about identifying the root cause of the error. Especially when batch renaming files, an error like this one is a clear indication that the naming convention used likely has a flaw that causes some or all tracks to overwrite others. I would…

I think Florian hit the nail on the head.

[image] triks_melb: I would identify and remove the remaining duplicates that still have leading track numbers in their filenames. How would you know which file to keep? The renamed one or the one with the track number? And if there are more than 1 of these files with e.g. different track num…

[image] MotleyG: I would strongly caution about having a “OK to All” option in this case. [image] ohrenkino: I would favour one only for "Skip all" but not as confirmation to overwrite existing files. The OK option in the existing implementation is essentially a Skip, so the suggested O…
