Hello Fellow NC/TC Fans,

anyone to suggest how to view ID3 tags of audio files in NC?
I know I can do it in Music app but I occassionally would like to view them w/o adding to the library.

Thanks & best regards,
Zigi

Hey,
A basic solution might be in setting up some command-line tool, e.g.

Code: Select all

brew install id3lib
and hooking that up as an external tool.

Hello Mike,

thanks for the hint!
Speaking of External Tool... ever considered to add option "Inactive Panel" for "Startup mode"? You know... like it works for Preview.

Best regards,
Zigi

Yes, I had something similar in mind for years now.
That would require a major rewrite of the terminal integration code though, as right now it's... hairy to put it mildly.
