Hi!
There are many tags not listed in [placeholders used in Mp3tag](https://docs.mp3tag.de/export) (for example SOURCE). Before removing I want to look at them. Is there any way?
I mean something like this:
1. Export tags of all files with $loop(). Here I need some [function](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting) like **$get\_tag\_name(x)**, where x is the number of tag within all tags in that file. So I could get all tags with $get\_tag\_name(1), $get\_tag\_name(2), $get\_tag\_name(3)..., then I put the tagname, when it founded first, to the end of a constant, with $puts(). As a result, I can do a list of the names of all founded tags in all files.
2. Then, to show (and sort by) founded tags in columns: may I use any (not listed) tagname as placeholder in format **%tag\_name%** in columns and filters?

1. Yes, you can use Extended Tag View Dialog.
2. Another way is to create a report file and export all tag field content.
For dumping out all tag fields read this ...

Take care - that dialog mixes Mp3tag names and file format names and does not identify which is which.

Sorry, I don't understand you. What do you mean and what is the difference between **Mp3tag names** and **file format names**? (Maybe a link?)

Advanced Tags dialog's "Metadata" shows two unlabelled items, the first of which is a name, which may be the name that the MP3tag UI uses to refer to the property e.g. BAND, or if there is none, a name actually used in the file tag e.g. ALBUM ARTIST - not necessarily the same thing. Which name appears depends on Mp3tag's default mapping - see Help "Names and mapping of ID3v2/WMA/MP4 tag fields" - and user mapping - see Options Mapping.
