@ufleisch, thank you very much for that quick reply. The __return tag is interesting and very useful! The app.revertFileModifications() works, thanks for that, so the workaround is OK for now, until the new version comes out. ;)

I just found out that after getting the number of seconds via the comment file, the comments are not set back and the files in the GUI are changed. Can I reset these so I don't get the question whether I want to save the changed files?

I am a programmer but have not looked into the details of how tags are stored. To me it seems like quite a workaround, more of a detour if you ask me, to get information like the duration - either in text or seconds. So seconds are available in tags but not in frames? Tag %{seconds} is available for importForTags but not when reading tags? I'd love to learn here. Thanks

Hi, Is there a list of the info I can read from the files and tags from QML? I can do a dir(app) to get all properties and functions but no documentation. What I am looking for now is the track duration, either formatted or in number of seconds. I get the app.selectionInfo.detailInfo which has the track duration at the end. I can extract that from the string, but what if that format ever changes? I assume that string has been compiled from different properties, that I hope I can getmyself. I also...

Hi, I was wondering if there were any extra options/functions to generate export files. For example, I am trying to get a format like this: artist = Some Artist album = Some Album tracks = First Track (1:23), Second Track (2:34) When using the Tracks field on the Export dialog, the tracks will be parsed on one line for each track. Adding a comma after each track will also add a comma after the last track. So I assume a function of some sorts in the Header field to create a loop for the tracks is...

Sorry, this should have gone in the Help forum... Can someone move this?

If it's not possible I guess I should do this with QML then?

On the Export dialog, adding %d / %D / %{duration} / %{seconds} to the Header field shows the time for the first track, and in the Footer they show the time for the last track. Is it possible to have fields for the total number of seconds for all tracks? Also, is it possible/difficult to add a tag for the number of bytes (per track and for all tracks together)? Thanks! Jerry
