After I switched from win10 to win11 I have some annoying problems in working with my files. Before I had mp3tag visible in the context menu, on win11 it is only present in the modern windows context menu, not the one that TC displays (the old style menu). So I was wondering would I be somewhat possible to place the exe on the middle bar and drag and drop files but when I select multiple files and drag them into exe it only opens the first file. Is there a way to force all files to open? When the mp3tag entry was present in the context menu selecting files and opening them in in mp3tag resulted in opening all files at once.

Try not using drag-and-drop, but just click on the button (still with %P%S in the Parameters field)

When using drag&drop, TC always uses %P%N as parameter. This is done because TC cannot know whether the parameters entered by the user are appropriate for drag&drop operations (they can get quite complex, not just %P%S).
