Add'l info: when I selected three tracks for the screenshot, I picked three that do exist.

Would it be possible to add a tooltip that says "Replace Genre" when Ctrl is not pressed while dragging to a genre and changes to "Add Genre" when Ctrl is pressed? That would help prevent accidentally overwriting tags.

As the search results show greyed out tracks it's possible the tracks aren't in that Collection and thus it fails.

Off topic: Available tracks is a folder/function created by MediaMonkey. It excludes e.g. tracks on CDs that were added to the database but that were not ripped.

Is Available Tracks a Collection? Are the files dragged from Available Tracks as well (are they in the same Collection is the destination drop target?)?

You need to use an image hosting site like imgur to display your images from > post the URL of the picture page itself using the URL button from
posting menu above text field.

Like so, > press URL button to get > then,
paste url here
or, if you want to just put a word, description do this,
paste screenshot name or other word(s)/descriptions here

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I try to drag the selection to: Media tree > Available tracks > Genre > Target folder

Note: I have on my desktop a screenshot (.png) and a Word file with the screenshot, but I don't know how to insert them.

Are you dragging files from a Library node like Music?

Are you sure that you D&D to right Tree Node?

Can you make few screenshots in order to see more details?

Hi,
It doesn't work for me. I select the tracks with the Ctrl key. I keep Ctrl depressed and drag the selection to the genre folder. As soon as I start dragging, a barred circle appears (like a no-parking sign). The addition to the genre fails. Any suggestion?

I prefer to use the CustomFieldsTagger script for these cases,
it's more intuitive and less dangerous (no Shift/Ctrl combination to remember): http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =2&t=58583

You can configure the script to use the tags you like. I've added the Genre tag (see page 2 of this thread).

Cheers!

you need to hold sown until you finish with Drag and Drop and you release mouse button, at which point MMW will show progress bar on tagging at the bottom.

Just keep in mind that you need to hold down the CTRL key -- if you forget to do that, it will replace whatever genres you had there with the new tag. I had to spend the past hour restoring several hundred music files from a backup drive because of that oversight... :-?

That works like a charm. Thank you very much.
