Hello hai,
now that we have a new Tag Hierarchy Explorer Panel in MB, might be good to detach it from the large thread where this started:
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=8987.msg178058
And collect bits that relate to this new panel in its' own thread.
The few bits I would love to see at some point in the future still:
- configuration options
- option to only show branches and/or groups that have files inside them, or associated children (with content/files)
- option to show how many files sit in each branch/group [i.e. maybe just a number in brackets like - in hierachy panel mock up view:
Genres (123456)
Blues (987)
Delta Blues (654)
maybe even trigger'able on the branch level so I on can decide on a per branch facet if/where this is important info...]
Also, @psychoadept and others active in the MB Wiki - would there be a space that would lend itself to storing and maintaining various mappings/txt files for others to use ?
I pasted a fair few in the above thread already, but forum is a tad limited for that, and would be nice if there was an agreed upon resource to store, collaborate on, and version these Tag Hierarchy Explorer Panel txt files.
Churs.

Tagging genres would be a cinch if the hierarchy could tag recursively.
Pop::Genre Category
Pop::Genre
Japanese Pop::Genre
歌謡曲::SubGenre
City Pop::SubGenre
Asia
East Asia
Japanese::Genre Category
Japanese Pop::Genre
歌謡曲::SubGenre
City Pop::SubGenre
If you tagged <SubGenre> as "City Pop," MB would fill in <Genre> with Pop; Japanese Pop.
I dunno whether I'm supposed to put THE requests here or the other thread. :-X
I have a few.
REQUEST Could we have the ability to multi-select nodes from the THE, ala the Column Browser?
List all available tags from a given node
Right now, I have...
Contemporary Hit::Style
...
...
...
International
Africa
Asia
日本::Keywords
Contemporary Hit::Style
...
Europe
Sweden::Keywords
Contemporary Hit::Style
In the Tag Relationship Editor, there's a list of tags with no relational connection to the music library, so there must also be a list of tags with a relational connection. It would be dope to have access to that list, something like...
Contemporary Hit::Style
...
...
...
International
Africa
Asia
日本::Keywords
ALL::Style
Europe
Sweden::Keywords
ALL::Style
...will fill the child node with tags that have been assigned elsewhere, avoiding clutter and redundancy in the .txt file.
Match Any Text in Tag...
...the same way <Tag> contains "example text" works in the Custom Search window.
For example, I have <Keywords>=Gender:male/female in multiple albums and normally* I can't match "male/female" in the THE, because "Gender:" gets in the way. I say "normally," because when I remove "Gender:" from one album, the rest of the albums actually become available in the THE too.
<Tag Hierarchy> Tag, ala <Genre Category>
Since the hierarchy is already being stored somewhere, is there an easy way you can make it accessible as a tag? 🤔
