Tag Editor in Context Menu

[chippe01]

I wasn't sure where to post this as there is no specific forum for the tag editor in Properties or the right click menu Edit ID Tags.

Is there a way to permanently add custom tags to the list when choosing ADD in the Edit ID Tags or Properties ID tag? If I click ADD and add a custom tag, the custom tag is available as long as that session is open, like when editing multiple files at once. If I move to another file and click Add, the custom tag I created is in the list. However, once I save or exit the editor / properties, the custom tag is gone.

For clarification, I am talking about this list ...


Hey, why can't I add pictures? Both add picture and attach files won't upload the picture...

In:

%appdata%\dBpoweramp

Is a file:

DefaultIDTagEdit.txt

add the items you want there

Thanks, I looked there based off of another thread I saw, but those are not the Tags that appear in the Edit ID Tags right click menu in the ADD button. For some reason, I can't add a picture, either by add picture or attachment management. Uploading is not working in Microsoft Edge, or Chrome.

That file you reference only shows the below tags, not the full list of tags displayed in the ADD button popup dialog.
Artist
Title
Album
Track
Year
Genre
Disc
Album Artist
Composer


The tags in the ADD button of the ID tag editor include:
Album Sort
Artist Sort
Band
Catalog *
Chorus
Compilation
Composer Sort
Conductor

And an option to add a Custom Tag.



I did add the tag I wanted to the DefaultTagEdit.txt file, but it does not display in the ADD tags list of the ADD button.

If you add a tag there, then it will always be listed on the main tag screen, even if the file does not have that ID tag.

Oh, I understand now. I didn't realize that custom tag would always display for every file. I was looking in the list of the ADD custom tag button and didn't see it. So now when I need it, it is already there, I don't need to add it.

Thank you.
