Switching between Tabs with Custom Views / Layouts causes the new Tag Hierarchy Explorer Panel to "white out" and requires a restart of MusicBee to become interactive / visible again.

 F5 does not resolve the issue.

Importantly, the current filter still appears, despite the panel being white.

See the screenshot below:




EDIT:

I thought removing the Column Browser might help -- it didn't.

Interestingly, the bug only occurs when navigating away from the tab containing the panel and back.

You can start MusicBee with any tab loaded then switch to the tab containing the panel and it will appear correctly until you navigate away and back.

As a test, I added it to another tab, and as long as you alternate between the two tabs containing the Hierarchy Explorer, it won't white-out.

No errors in the error logs either.

Despite this bug, this is exactly what I had hoped for. What an awesome new feature! Thanks.

I also had occasional 'white outs'. Not sure if it's the same as yours. But I found them fix-able by force re-reading the .txt file, and/or un-/re-loading the panel itself...
i.e -> TagHierarchy Panel -> Edit Tag Hieracrhy -> OK
seems to rebuild the panel on the quick.


Also - I have a mapping for foo_discogs  fields (it again exceeds the 20k limit... need to find a better way to store/share large txt files... :D)

Hm, I just had a small epiphany why there seems to be some confusion in the discussion and communications now and then.

It seems the current development/discussion is mostly about browsing tag hierarchies.
I had (have) a system in mind that is helpful for tagging files:


In my imagination this would work something like this:

You have an album or a track that you want to populate with genre and possibly sub-genre and style.

1. You begin selecting a genre category. (that should be easy)
2. Then from the drop-down menu you must select one of the genres that is presented there. Only relevant genres to the selected genre category are displayed.
3. Save and exit, or go to the optional next step.
4. From the sub-genre menu, select one of the displayed (and already filtered) sub-genres of the genre selected in the step before.
5. Save and exit, or go to the optional next step.
4. From the Form/style menu, select one (or more) item(s). The contents of that menu will not depend on earlier selections and has the same items every time.
5. Save and exit.


Since many users will want to keep using the current implementation for genre, it would probably be best to have it optional to activate such an 'advanced sub-genre/style mode'.
At activating it you could then choose the mapping for sub-genre (most likely a custom tag) and 'style' (the 'keywords' tag would be a likely candidate, or else a custom tag)

This sounds like a good addition to the Additional Tagging Tools plugin, but too specific for it to be native to MB.

I disagree.

Look at it this way:

Currently, when a user wants to apply a tag to a tag (somebody please suggest a better way to phrase this?), MusicBee will usually offer some pop-up suggestions for it.
Where do these suggestions come from?
Certainly not from any sort of logical system that somebody has put some thought behind.
They are coming from content that just 'happens' to be present in other files in your library. (at that moment)

MusicBee is a music player/manager.

Managing is not effective when there is no thought or some basic system behind it.

Most of MusicBee's features depend on your files having systematic, correct, and organised tags.
At the back-end MusicBee has that under control very well.
But at the front-end, improvements can be made for certain.

So to me a systematic and consistent way for users to tag their music falls well within the scope of MusicBee.
It shouldn't be brushed-off to a plugin.

@hiccup, i know you are working on a taxonomy for genre-category/ genre/ sub-genre.
Would you be happy to share that (in XL or text format) so I can include it as the default?

Sure.
I have been doing a lot of work on it and made lots of changes.
Some decisions I made on the hierarchy may trigger some discussion with other invested members.

Depending on the feedback I could then perhaps made some adjustments to it, and weed out some possible plain mistakes.
After that I can share it as .txt, .xml or .xls.

I now see the implementation is about browsing genres, and not about applying genres.
This is not what I had in mind with all this, and my genre map is not designed for that.

The choices I made on genre categories are not what the average user will want to use as a navigation system.
The genres the map contains are so precisely curated, that they don't match very well what is out there in the wild.

It would be much better to use a list that is based on:

- the current MusicBee genre/genre grouping list
- Discogs
- MusicBrainz.

That is what the average user will have his music tagged by.

@alec.tron
Please don't use the excel list that I pm'ed you earlier.
Lists such as you are creating using information from Discogs etc. are much better suited for this purpose.

The initial implementation is about browsing. As previously mentioned I will also look at using the same taxonomy for assisted input when editing tags. Why would you want a different taxonomy? I don't get the point you are making or what the difference would be

Hi.

@hiccup
tbh, I don't get why your genre map would be suited for tagging, but not for browsing either.
The whole point of the TagHierarchy Panel, and to allow an extended genre hierarchy with user definable layers/branches, is to work with the metadata you have on your files (which is why I mentioned that the display of a given branch/tree in the TagHierarchy should be coupled to 'does this tag/tree exist' [in my library] - but, that might be a later feature to come, no rush/worries...!).


And another list I plonked together yesterday to support existing metadata, is a core construct for jameskennedymonash's mind map for Hornbostel & Sachs (1914) ( https://jameskennedymonash.wordpress.com/2012/05/06/mind-map-taxonomy-of-musical-instruments/ )  musical instrument taxonomy - in case this helps anyone else (lots missing, in terms of actual instruments, but the main structure is there):

Why would you want a different taxonomy? I don't get the point you are making or what the difference would be

I am not saying the taxonomy between browsing and tagging should be different.
I am saying that my genre map in it's current state is not suited to use for browsing in MusicBee.

There are a couple of reasons for that:
- For browsing the average user will not agree with some category choices I made for this map. E.g. many will want to have Pop and Rock separated. Some will want Electronic and Edm combined. That may need some reconsidering when having browsing in mind.
- The 'Ethnic' genre categories I invented will be disputed and not be familiar to the average user.
- A very large amount of the more refined subgenre/a.k.a. tags that my genre map contains will not be present in the average user's files. Sources such as Discogs and MusicBrainz just don't use them. (they are very slowly improving on that though, so maybe in the far future…)
- Many of the tags that they do use are not in my genre map. Such as 'arena rock', 'avantgarde' 'ballad', 'christmas music' 'experimental' 'industrial' and many, many more.
- The same goes for the current Musicbee genres and categories.
Musicbee uses categories such as 'easy-listening' and 'regional and national'.
And genres as 'folk' 'indie' 'rap'.
Many users may be accustomed to using those, but they are also not in my map.

I am not saying there can't be a map and a hierarchy that assimilates/adapts as well as possible and will work for most users.
Such a map could indeed be used both for browsing and for tagging.

It's just that my map in it's current state was designed exclusively with the latter purpose in mind.
It's very strict with it's contents, and the categories were specifically chosen to make sense for tagging.

I am pretty sure it would frustrate many users if this map was implemented for browsing.

You may also want to check MusicBrainz' instrument list.
The instruments named there are what you will encounter when you tag your music using MusicBrainz' Picard.

Great suggestion.

Not for me though... as I do not tag with MusicBrainz.
Also, there's no taxonomy definition as such either yet, just a flat list... So that is a lot of work to do and I'll leave that for someone who actually uses this.
That's also the beauty with this tag Hierarchy view, everyone can contribute to the mappings.

I will see if I can create a genre mapping list that only contains genres/styles/descriptions that are currently used by Discogs, MusicBrainz and MusicBee, and put them in categories that people suffering less from genre-ocd are used to and happy to see.

That should probably do fine for testing and common usage.

If it results in something usable I will also create a matching genre grouping list that can be used for Tags (2) > Group genres.

https://getmusicbee.com/patches/MusicBee34_Patched.zip

- fixes a few bugs
- now filters out nodes that have no matching files

I'm a little late to the genre party. I've applied today's patch and added the Tag Hierarchy Explorer panel. I'm getting a file not found error for TagHierarchy.txt. Where can I find this file. I know to place it in AppData. I just need to get my hands on the file.

Thanks.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.
