Well, you don't have any parameter in the Parameter field. Try %P%S in this field. Note that this seriously limits the number of files that can be (successfully) transferred to the called program (command line length limit). It's better to let TC create a list which is then processed by the called program. The latter must support list files, of course. I'm currently trying to find out if MP3tag supports it.

Doesn't look like MP3tag can understand a list file: https://docs.mp3tag.de/command-line/
Though I'm wondering how its context menu extension works with multiple selected files...

I'm currently trying to find out if MP3tag supports it.

It does not: https://docs.mp3tag.de/command-line/

Code: Select all

Start with directory 
Mp3tag.exe /fp:"<full-qualified path to directory>"

Starts Mp3tag in the specified directory using the directory as working directory.

Start with file 
Mp3tag.exe /fn:"<full-qualified file name>"

Starts Mp3tag with the specified file using the directory of the file as working directory.

Add directory or file 
/add

Use this in combination with /fp or /fn to add files to the file list. Please note, that files are not automatically sorted when added to the file list.

Further Commands 
Mp3tag is built as an interactive program, further commands are currently not planned.

so the parameter are rather limited so for the button the better parameter is "%P" only imho

Yes, probably. Though this makes MP3tag add all files to its list. But that's apparently how things are handled.
