Is it possible to run more than 1 instance of MP3tag? How do I do it?

The answer is still the same: It is not possible. What exactly do you want to achieve?

To be able to look at different directories at the same time, whether related to each other or not, without having to change directories. Perhaps, one instance is looking at a directory with 100,000 files in it, and it took several hours to scan. If I want to look at any other directory, then come b…

Do you really want to compare directories by hand? What about a filter to see 2 directories at once? Like %_directory% IS a OR %_directory% IS b Using the library usually speeds up the loading process - unless the file access is the bottleneck.

Or.. idk... Just be able to have more than one instance of MP3Tag running at once. Why is that so difficult to pull off? There are some people that would actually use it. The library speeds up the loading, to a point, but it still does not solve the initial issue of being able to look at 2 or more …

Ok, I have... 30 folders, each one for an album of whatever artist. Most of them are oldies (Rush, moving pictures), so I have worked to make them beautiful (500x500 cover, id2.4 tag, title + album + artist tag) I have 4 copies of this albums: Home PC + Office note + SD Car 1 + SD Car 2 (wifes car…

[image] LyricsLover: It is not possible. Note to Florian: I don't know about the code required, but wouldn't the problem of keeping the tags synchronized be solved by locking the files selected in the first instance? And then locking the files selected in the second instance if a third inst…

[image] marcerickson: by locking the files selected in the first instance As soon as another instance is opened and displays the same files as a previous one and these files then get manipulated in the more recently opened instance, then not all files would be modified as they are locked by a…

Seems like you should invest some time once in learning and setting up rsync or something similar.

[image] SullyPanda76: So, I thought, have 3 instances opened (Main home PC + SD car 1 + SD car2) and check folder by folder the best version, and propagate it. Even though a manual compare is the best source for errors, I would still think that loading all the files from the various location…
