Is that too Hard too rearrange Metadata Pane fields from row to column?

For those that don't want developer time wasted on putting a lot of customization into this request, what could they possibly add to V13? I couldn't believe all that they were able to add to V12 to get to V13! can there be very much left? Well, OK, there may be one thing - AI!

@errante Can you Please Tell me Some Details How to Use the MetalPane.opusscriptinstall

I have been Install the Script and Create a button for Display the MetalPane But 1. When I Update any Field's Data and Press TAB from keyboard the cursor jump to next field But the Updated Data Does not Remain. That's need to be fixed.
2. Need to Set Some Keyboard Shortcuts:
F2 = for Select Existing Data and Active Update Mode.
TAB = for Jump to Next Field That shortcut all ready works
Shift + TAB = for Jump Backward Field
Ctrl + Enter = for Apply Button
and need to fixed this error

I'm always amazed when that comes after a user kindly provided something developed freely on its own time. At least, something in the likes of "could you see if that can be changed ?" would be better IMO.
I will let @errante answer on this one, but if it was for me, I'll let you deal with the fix on your own : you already have full access to the code.

May be My Requested Language is not so appropriate as it should be, may be that's cause English is not my Mother Language, I need to take some help from google translator. So Please do not go with my English words.
I know @errante is not the developer or any one who responsible for fell my wants, he is just another user just like me. the only difference between he and me is he has ability to develop something and I don't have any coding knowledge. This is why I said I have to wait wait and wait until some one that may be @errante or may be @lxp or my be any other person who have enough time and interest for complete this project.
So it's my humble request to this forum please have a look in this project. Thanks to all

Thank you for the clarification, and my apologies since your real intention was not what it seemed at first sight.
I guess you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time, since I tend to see such behavior ("please fix", "that's not the way it should work", "fix in very next release", ...) more and more in this forum :slight_smile: even if (hopefully) it's not the majority of users.

A bit technical, but it would seem that the focus change event for the edit control will not fire. Simply manually adding a few lines to check for the change when pressing Tab should work.

About the others request/complaints, they are just bind hotkeys, plus some changes. The code is pretty simple, I'm sure there is someone who can help you if you ask nicely. I'll take a look at it when I have some free time, which unfortunately does not seem like it will happen soon.

The one that puzzles me the most is the error when setting the metadata. To find out why, change in Config, log level to debug, repeat the process which gives the error and post the whole result.

MetalPane.opusscriptinstall (6.5 KB)

Now I'm out.

First of all My apology, I can't give you a reply in time. Please forgave me Dear brother.
Here is my Testing result:

  1. I must need to add the composers Column in this List
  2. Title Column Data doesn't Update. After edit the Title Data when I press Tab from keyboard and the cursor jumped over the next field the updated data just vanished. the updated data doesn't display on MetalPane so not even in file display of Opus.
  3. Albumartist Column data doesn't Update.
    If after update Albumartist Column data I Click anywhere inside Metalpane it's displayed updated Data in MetalPane But when I Click on Apply Button of MetalPane it's Displayed This Error

If after update Albumartist Column data I press Tab from the keyboard then the Updated Data just Vanished and the Cursor jumped over the next field. So I can't find any way to update Albumartist Column data.

  1. This new version (after I edited this post) should work for Composers as well (though I’m not 100% sure)
  2. It was actually something that affected the first column, not just Title. Fixed. There was also a similar issue affecting the last column, which has now been fixed as well.
  3. Fixed.

For future demands. Since no one else has stepped in here to help you during my absence, (which is strange considering this forum is full of great folks ready to assist), I strongly recommend you learn basic scripting. Or, if it's for work, hire someone to do it for you. That way, you can make all sorts of specific requests based on your needs!
