feature request: add new artist from filename
Posted: 05 Sep 2026, 17:42
I don't know if this is possible or not, but the feature I miss beeing able add new artist from filename.
What I do now: left lick => press rename the file => select/mark the artist name => copy => cancel => press artist => press add new artist => paste => OK => OK => OK => press refresh item or F3 => OK (13 actions/clicks)
Example - I have a file called: "Higher (2020-02-15) Hirie - Dreamer Tour - Reno" or "Nirvana (1991-11-25) Paradiso, Amsterdam" and want to add a new artists to the database "Hirie"or "Nirvana"
I imagine that I could right-click and have and option "mark artist from filename" and when i select that option a new window opens with the file name and i can select/mark the artist name (in the examples Hirie or Nirvana)
and press OK (4 actions/clicks)
You could do the same with "site"
Is that possible?
