Title: Tag management by drag-n-dropping into sidebar (change album genre)
Post by: oxysoft on February 27, 2019, 08:38:33 PM

It would be really handy if it were possible to drag n drop an album from the main panel into a category from the left sidebar. I wish to use it mainly to change quickly organize albums into genres (setting the file tags at the same time), but it just occurred to me while posting that the sidebar can group files in other different ways as well (not limited to genre only), hence the topic subject. I will leave the abstraction and specifics open for discussion. For me, just moving into genres would be enough but I think it would be possible to make this work for different kinds of tags as well!  :)

edit: This is my setup below, for reference. I would use this feature by dragging the album covers from the main panel, with the ability to highlight/move several at once too.

What if an album is Art Rock and Progressive Rock and Psychedelic?

If you mean that the album that is drag and dropped has many genres, then its genre tag would be overwritten for simply the genre that it was dropped onto. It should replace the tag of the drag and drop content with what it's dropped onto.
