Mp3tag v3.11 released
I had my birthday last week and spent the day outside in surprisingly warm and sunny autumnal nature 
What a beautiful present!
As a present for you, I've just released Mp3tag v3.11 and wanted to outline some of the new features and changes:
Cover preview on the Tag Panel
It can be difficult to inspect the quality and details of the embedded cover directly
from the cover window of the Tag Panel. To alleviate this, I've added a larger cover preview
available via double click on the cover on the Tag Panel.
Icon in Windows Explorer context menu
A long-standing feature wish for many: Mp3tag's Explorer context-menu entry now has an icon and is easier to recognize.
Windows 11 context menu
The new Windows 11 Explorer context menu caught many by surprise. Existing context menu extensions were only available via a Show more options... entry, which meant an extra indirection to something that's supposed to speed up interaction.
I've now implemented all the extra steps that are necessary to appear in the top-level context menu and things should be back to comfortable again.
