### I've just released Mp3tag v2.89

With this version, I’ve taken a leap and **completely rewrote the Tag Panel layout**. Especially when docked horizontally, the fields now flow naturally and the cover art window resizes based on the panel size. I really like it and I hope you do too 🙂

**All fields are now configurable** (including the default fields) and can have one of four different sizes (normal, smaller, small and multiline). I’ve added an option to enable/disable fields (also available via right-click on the Tag Panel) and ways of loading and saving Tag Panel configurations.

As if this was not already enough, I’ve **added support for long file paths** (\> 260 characters). This was a change I was hesitant to make for a long time, as it affects many, many parts of Mp3tag.

I’ve also **updated the Discogs and MusicBrainz tag sources** , which stopped working due to changes on their servers. You can review the many other changes in the [changelog](https://www.mp3tag.de/en/changelog.html).

🚀 **You can download the new version from**  
[https://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html](https://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html)

🧡 **And if you like Mp3tag and want to support my work as an Indie Developer** , I’m happy about any contribution

I've already expected some issues after the release of Mp3tag v2.89. The past two days were pure "execution mode" 😅

I've just released [Mp3tag v2.89a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) which fixes the following issues:

- FIX: navigating via Tab from and to Tag Panel did not work as intended (since v2.88c).
- CHG: improved writing performance for Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files. ([#42307](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/42307))
- FIX: runtime error on some systems when file creation and modification dates were malformed (since v2.88f).
- FIX: runtime error when executing user-defined tools with files with UNC paths (since v2.88f). ([#42250](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/42250))
- FIX: performance regression when running export on large libraries on network shares (since v2.88f).
- FIX: relative paths at actions 'Import cover from file' and 'Import text file' were not supported anymore (since v2.88f). ([#42288](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/42288))

Enjoy and take care

Großes Lob für das Update des Tag Panels!  
Big kudos for redsigning the Tag Panel! It resolved quite some pain that I didn't even dare to ask being improved:slight\_smile:  
Especially shrinking small fields (like th compilation flag, or simple date fileds) now allows having more than one in a row, significantly saving vertical screen real estate.  
Great Job, keep it up Florian!
