STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Import an album with X tracks, let's say 10 tracks 2. Track numbers can be auto added 3. When now wanting to add how many tracks there are in total, I need to edit each track 4. When selecting all track files in the browser on the left, the value is shown as # due to the values differing. 5. Select track 1. Change "Track Number" "1" to "1/10" 6. Select track 2. Change "Track Number" "1" to "2/10" ... repeat ... ... I've had some albums that are some 50 tracks deep. This is a long job. OBSERVED RESULT As above. EXPECTED RESULT What would be nice, are 2 separate boxes (perhaps side by side in the same row). With this, one could highlight all tracks, the track number box would show #, but the second box, representing the total tracks (e.g. 1/x) would now be blank, waiting for me to enter the total tracks, therefore amending this number in one change. The same could be done, and would help when tagging an album with multiple discs/vinyls.

Kid3 lets you edit exactly the frames which exist in the tag. Whether the track number and the total are different frames, depends on the format. In Vorbis comments, as found in FLAC or Ogg files, there are different frames, but in ID3v2 tags, which are used in MP3 files, this information is in the same frame. Anyway, you do not have to edit the track numbers and the total manually in such a tedious process as described in this bug report. There is an action in the menu "Tools/Number Tracks", which lets you set the track number and the total with a single operation. Just select all the files you want to modify and then use the "Number Tracks" dialog.
