===== Introduction =====
The Thunar Media Tags Plugin (thunar-media-tags-plugin) adds special features for media files to the Thunar File Manager.

Currently, these are:

    * A bulk renamer option, which allows users to rename multiple audio files at once, based on their tags (e.g. ID3 or OGG/Vorbis),
    * An audio tag editor which is reachable from the file properties page,
    * A special media file page for the file properties dialog, which displays detailed information about quality, length, etc.


----
   
===== Usage =====

The renamer, which you can see in the screenshot below, is reachable through the {gui>Rename…} option of the context menu after selecting more than one file and right-clicking on the selection. By selecting **Audio Tags** from the picklist, you are offered several pre-defined **Format:** options for renaming, or you can select //Custom// from the picklist. If //Custom// is selected, clicking on the //Information// icon to the right of the **Custom format:** field will display a list valid parameters. The screenshot shows how a custom selection displays a preview of your proposed changes under the //New Name// column.
