I've just released [Mp3tag v3.30a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455), which should now allow Total Commander (and other 3rd-party file managers) to set the Mp3tag window as foreground window when launched via the context menu shell extension.

Please try it out and let me know if it works for you.
