Version 4 of idtagviewer

1. Purpose: The purpose is to (re)view or to edit/change id tags of MP3 files of the id tag standard v1.

It is possible to:

edit the id tags by changing directly in the entry fiels of the id tags area (see 3.)
extract the id tags by a scheme from the path of the MP3 file (directory and filename)
change the case of the id tags to the lower, upper case or to first char upper and the rest lower case
prepend the track number to and to strip it from the MP3 file
rename the MP3 file on the base of the id tags of the MP3 file

1.1 To view id tags of a file you simply have to start the idtagviewer with it:

    idtagviewer.tcl -file dummy.mp3

1.2 To scan a directory (with/without its subdirectories), start the idtagviewer with it:

    idtagviewer.tcl -directory /usr/mp3/rock/BonJovi
    idtagviewer.tcl -recursive true -directory /usr/mp3/rock/BonJovi

1.3 If no argument is given than the idtagviewer asks for a directory to scan after the startup. 1.4 If a not recursively scanned directory contains no files, the idtagviewer enables the recursive scan and rescans the directory

2. Scanned files:

This listbox contains all scanned files and is shown only if a directory is scanned. Filenames with a green background have the track number 1. Red ones don't have a track number.

The current scanned directory is shown above the list of files.

3. Id tags formular:

Above the formular the current filename is shown.

This formular contains checkbuttons to toggle id tags for automatically applied changes and one entry per id tag. The topmost checkbutton toggles the state of all checkbuttons below.

With:

the <Down> and <Up> keys you manoeuvres from checkbutton to checkbutton or entry to entry.
the <Control-Down> and <Control-Up> keys you manoeuvres through the files shown left. The current file is always shown left
the <Tab> and <Shift-Tab> keys you move like normally through the formular

4. Possible actions:

scan: opens a dialog to choose the directory to be scanned
rescan: rescans the current directory
number: prepends the track number with the format "%ld." to the file name of the current MP3 file
number all: prepends the track number of each scanned file like number does
strip number: strips the track number (if present) from the file name of the current MP3 file

   strip all numbers: strips the track number of each scanned file like ''''''strip number''''' does

rename: renames the current MP3 file using the rename scheme from the options and the id tags of this MP3 file
rename all: renames all MP3 files like rename does
extract tags: extracts the toggled id tags from the current MP3 file using the extraction scheme from the options. Not recognized or extracted id tags won't be changed. If the convert tags checkbutton is enabled the case of the new id tag values are converted before shown in the id tags formular
extract tags all: extracts all toggled id tags from all MP3 files like extract tags does
save: saves the current shown id tag values to the current MP3 file. If the convert tags checkbutton is enabled the case of the id tag values are converted before shown in the id tags formular
