I would really enjoy having a way to put an Extended Tags-type 'Metadata' overview at the bottom of my Tag Panel, but showing only those tags that my already configured fields do not cover. Besides the fact that currently I have a huge empty area on the bottom there that is not particularly useful …

If you have a list of fields that you always want to keep (and get rid of the rest) you could use an action that deletes all fields except those in the list: [image] Remove Fields Except – Mp3tag Documentation Documentation on the Remove Fields Except action type that can be performed as…

While I understand where you are coming from, I think that is still very close to the bandaid solution I refer to in my final paragraph. It assumes that every tag I don't know is useless to me. (I'll admit it would have been a good enough solution for me a decade or more ago, but I've become a bit …

[image] MarbleOtter: Often, I find that there is useful information lurking in those tags that I may (or may not) want to put into the set of tags I standardize on. I came to the same conclusion. What I usually do when I encounter different spellings/versions of a tag I want to keep, I follow…

For me, my focus is on FLAC and its tagging format that is primarily text-based. there's a textual representation for anything in the Extended Tags window. The 'unknown frames' issue does not seem to apply to the FLAC format I primarily settled on for my collection. If it does, I have never stumble…

You are basically right about FLAC. [image] MarbleOtter: If it does, I have never stumbled across it. As far as I know, there are at least two cases for FLAC which are not yet supported by Mp3tag: METADATA_BLOCK_CUESHEET [image] Working with CUESHEET blocks in FLAC…

[image] MarbleOtter: my focus is on FLAC I would think that a solution that impacts all users as it modifies a central GUI element, should cover most use cases. It looks to me as though esp. ID3 tags with possible APE tags and unsupported tag fields would not benefit from such an extra displ…

The Tag Panel is very configurable, and my suggestion is about 'having a way'. I'm not saying 'force it in for everyone'. As it is, the covers section can be enabled and disabled in the Tag Panel Configuration screen, and I imagine for people who have no use for a filtered view of extended tags, tha…

Just wanted to respond in to say I did see your suggestions of ways I could approach my issue and I appreciate you understanding what I was trying to communicate. :slight_smile: It definitely helps to deal with a part of the issues and I will explore it in more detail next time I go on a tagging bi…

Somewhat related: I'd like to see some of the more common Extended Tags, but below Album Art. Have you considered making AA a moveable field, instead of tied to the bottom?

You could see if the _FORMAT field plus the idea from this thread:

comes closer to your workflow.
