I do not know just yet what's new compared to last beta, but I see you have added %PU% to the custom case formatting, thanks.

Just wanted to thank you for your years of work on this, my favorite metadata manipulator.
'Tagger' doesn't do it justice.

I've been using TheGodfather for 8-10 years now and it has been a fabulous product to use. That said, I find the newest version more of a step backwards. Here are a few of the issues I have:

Remember Column Widths
What happened to this feature? Are columns supposed to be remembered automatically now? If so, I cannot get them to stay. This feature is a must-have for me and I can't upgrade without it.

Band
Why was this variable removed in the tagging options? Seemingly, the only way to set this field now is through the "Read TXXX/ALBUMARTIST into TPE2 (Band/Orchestra)" option. There are three problems with this: 1) Old scripts don't work, 2) The Read option available now appends the tag instead of overwriting it, 3) To use the read option you have to perform the tag sequence twice... once to set Album Artist, and a second time to have the Album Artist populate the Band field.

Use Case
Why was this removed from the main screen? There are many times when you need flip back and forth between using case and not, and having it located only in the Options dialog is inconvenient. For example, you may need to tag an album where 1) the case is correct, 2) something else needs to be fixed, like the date or genre, and 3) the artist, album, or title has an odd/non-standard casing (ex. fIREHOSE).

Which version did you upgrade from, must have been a really old one since you remember the case options on the main screen.

1.Column widths
You can select columns/column widths/sort order save them in template(s) , the last one used will be the default.

2.Band
This field is used by everything else out there as the 'album artist' field, I included an option to keep ALBUMARTIST as a TXXX frame. I am not saying that this is right or wrong it is just becoming or is actually a 'standard' nowadays.
How are you using the band field? and what scripts are you using?

3.Case (and other options)
A lot of options have moved gradually into the options dialog otherwise they would just take up space and clutter the main screen.
However the options dialog is not modal you can set anything there and hit apply , you can even roll it up so only the caption is visible.
Moreover you can use the 'ignore correct' check button so only the files that need tagging (according to your options ) appear in the grid.
