However if one wishes to guess the tags for all the tracks in a single directory, say, then currently one must do this one track at a time (the "guess tags..." button is hidden unless "per-track" is checked). It would be good if the the guessing function was available for multiple track selections also, allowing batch tagging from filenames. Thanks. 865437 1 thomas.coopman 2009-11-20 15:13:28 +0000 I agree, especially because the items are not remembered. So you have to set the items again per song. 996881 2 myriam 2010-08-01 11:19:01 +0000 Amarok is not a mass tagger, there are many applications out there that do this much better, so reinventing the wheel is not in our scope. Please use kid3, easytag or Picard. 1107569 3 rty 2011-04-13 15:59:53 +0000 Pretty strange attitude. Amarok has a mass tagging feature which is completely useless(*) in it's current form. If Amarok does not want to help it's users with mass tagging functionality, than the "Guess Tags From Filename" should be removed. (*): copy/pasting tag values from the filename field to the tag fields is much faster than setting up the GTFF for each file. 1277425 4 matej 2012-07-19 15:13:26 +0000 I wouldn't object including this in Amarok if somebody implemented it in a clean way. Reporters, this doesn't mean that this will get fixed soon, it means that you can, if you want, try to implement that. On the other hand, other devs may have different opinion on whether "Guess Tags From Filename" should work on multiple files. 1344828 5 kmm 2013-02-24 11:03:31 +0000 I agree it would be nice to have this feature. Or please at least provide some integration with kid3. The button "Guess Tags From Filename" in the "Track Details" could be changed to "Open files in a tagging application", with the possibility to configure the app. 1388983 6 anandrkris 2013-08-11 05:40:28 +0000 I feel this is a very-nice- to-have feature and will be much useful to users. I am sure someone can come up with a simple and intuitive UI design to accommodate functionality with multiple tracks. 1388997 7 kretschmann 2013-08-11 07:24:32 +0000 @km: I don't think there is a practical cross-platform way to start a tagging application.
