Laborious tagging within MM5 (compared to MM4) [#20806]
Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2024 4:00 pm
Hi forum,
2,5 years after the release of MM5 (and disappointing first steps) I've decided to switch from MM4 to MM5 now finally. But I'm still struggling with inefficient handling of the "new" software in some cases.
One annoying example:
In MM4 it was possible to type in the first few characters of the Genre tag, until it matched the correct Genre (e.g. "Eu" => auto-fills to "Eurodance"). After that match you were instantly able to press TAB to jump (right hand) to the next tag in the same song. So you were very fast for tagging the whole song. Now MM5 forces a pulldown even if there is only one proposal. You need much more mouse clicks or keyboard actions to come into the next tag field.
Besides that I register two malfunctions:
1.) It's no longer possible to jump by TAB to the "rating" tag. This was still possible in MM4 and slows down the input in MM5 unnecessarily.
2.) Sometimes if I start e.g. to type in "House" in Genre tag, the character "H" opens the Help pulldown in the menu list, instead of filling the Genre text. But I do NOT press the Alt-key concurrently... Additional example: Typing in "Trance" can lead to "Tools > Rip Audio CD" action.
Bug or feature?
Thanks for any help!
