I have recently updated to Mp3tag 2.91, and noticed the Genre input in Tag Panel has significantly less space than before. This is because Year, Track and Genre now have the same amount of space (one third), while previously, Genre had more space. As you can see in the screenshot, this significantly…

I think this may be a reasonable case for the (re-)introduction of an additional smaller field than the current 'Small' width. With the latest versions brings the ability to change the field size of any tag field so the widths were normalized as everything is now customizable, however prior to this…

Thanks for the explanations. Now I understand what the issue really is, and I also understand I'm far from being the only one pointing it. From the top of my head, I'd suggest two additional sizes: smaller, 1/4 width. Possible layouts: 4 smaller's 2 smaller's and 1 normal (your example above) …

If there were an even smaller 1/6th width field I guess it just depends how much truncation one would want to tolerate. On the surface it seems like it'd just be half the usable width of a 1/3rd width field but with the added margins and such there's less usable space than one might expect. For exa…

I think we all agree adding the 1/4 size would be very welcome. About the 1/6 size, it was just an idea. It combines well with other sizes, and may surely have its use cases (e.g. with large screens). But for now, let's focus on adding the 1/4 size. Ideally, the default sizes should also be res…

Thanks for the feedback and the helpful discussion here. Just wanted to give a quick update that I'm working on the 1/4 size for the next release. And it's really Smaller this time :smiley:

Nice :slight_smile: Thanks for considering this. Already have fields in mind it will be useful for. Look forward to trying it.

Florian, that's good news! Thanks for listening to (and handling) user feedback, as usual :slight_smile: Out of curiosity, how difficult is it to implement such a new size? On the surface it sounds simple, but how about the actual code? Does it involve some complicated Windows GUI stuff?

I've added the Tag-Panel field size Smaller (i.e., smaller than Small) with Mp3tag v2.91c . [image] xRussianBeautyx: Out of curiosity, how difficult is it to implement such a new size? I won't go into the implementation details here. Difficulty is all relative and I don't see any benefit in g…

[image] LaurenBacall: one bug I came across with it: if consecutive fields are set to the Smaller size and then one of the fields in the row is set to Small that field will expand past the margin in a fixed column (made via a Separator), rather than break to a new line. I've fixed this with M…

I've fixed this with Mp3tag v2.91d. Thanks for testing and reporting!
