Can I apply group tagging to more that one song at once?

Asked by fberger

In exaile 3.4.0-dev+bzr4524 and the group tagger plugin 0.3, when I select a couple of songs in a playlist and mark a group tag in the GroupTagger panel, only the very first of the selected songs is bein labelled.

This makes it very hard to apply a group tag to more that a handful songs at once.

Is it possible to add a group tag to more than one song at once in the given versions?

I believe when I originally implemented this, I had decided against it because I didn't want to accidentally tag a lot of tracks and couldn't think of a good interface to do it. I think.

If you can think of a good interface for it, then file a bug and tag it as wishlist.

Thanks! Well in my case I just imported ~400 MB of Swing House files, and since group tags make for a much better genre ans sorting tagger than the "genre" tag, it's quite a task to tag all of those. I would also argue that bulk group tagging is a fairly common use case.

For me, selecting several songs, checking the group tag and maybe a dialog "Are you sure you want to apply tag 'xzy' to 234 files?" would nail it. I'll file a bug.

Cheers,
