Currently when positioned in its horizontal layout the Tag Panel fields are rather awkwardly flowed when enough custom fields have been added in the options. The first two columns of tag fields seem to be fixed in position while only the third column subsequently expands downward, which leaves a lo…

With the regular release of v2.89 I'm marking this as solved as it relates to the original suggestion :+1: Of course the topic can continue to function for any comments related to the changes. Once again thanks to Florian for taking the time and effort to add these welcome additions.

Noticed this was taken into consideration in v2.88. Thanks for remembering, Florian :+1: Just some thoughts on in the way it's implemented currently: it appears the fields don't flow to fill the columns depending on the height of the Tag Panel. So while they will now expand into more than 3 columns…

Saw a new topic appear in which the OP used the tag panel at a smaller width previously (with vertical scrollbars) and they wondered if there's a way of restoring the previous layout (at least from what I can glean from translation). Perhaps a way to reconcile the two concepts would be to always e…

Many thanks @LaurenBacall for the good ideas and the screen mocks. I'm also still thinking about the best wayTM to address this and I can definitely see that the current approach still has a lot of limitations (I definitely like it more than the endless third column in the previous version). My pre…

Flexible width fields seem like a decent idea. A drawback with that would be some common fields like Artist and Comments might get too narrow at certain window sizes to be as easily usable as they are currently with the fixed width fields but I'd assume you'd make them some appropriate minimum width…

I had "The week of the Tag Panel" :smiley: I've rewritten the Tag Panel layout (again) and added the following improvements with the current Development Build Mp3tag v2.88c : Tag Panel fields now fill up the vertical space and flow horizontally. If you want to exceed the available vertical space, y…

This is incredible. Not only have you addressed the prior concerns but added long requested features like the ability to change the length of fields and hide defaults, among other things. When you first mentioned separators wasn't sure how well it would work but after using it I think it probably a…

Many thanks for testing and the motivating feedback! Glad you like the changes :slight_smile: [image] LaurenBacall: It looks like the Smaller Size of field field length is currently exactly half the width of the Normal field length but seems to not account for the margin in-between which makes …

Thanks for the quick fix :slight_smile: These new changes honestly make a horizontal layout so enjoyable, and love the added touches like scaling the cover art in size depending on the panel height and adding user-customizable Alt key hotkeys to any field :+1: What do you think I should do with reg…

I am pretty impressed with the new sizing feature. Even though I use a pretty standard vertical layout, setting small fields like LANGUAGE or BPM to a small layout really makes the tag panel look much nicer. And it saves space.

Thanks Florian. This is a real major coup in the design of the Tag-panel. One hint: Is it intentional that the width of the small field is different if you place 3 in a row or only 2 or 1?

Correct and thanks for reporting! I've fixed this with Mp3tag v2.88d.
