Column Order and Visibility

Access: Menu > File > Column properties, <Ctrl+M>, Top Toolbar B button

Use the Column Properties Panel to adjust which data columns are visible and in what order they appear in the Editor. Columns shown in blue have corresponding data fields in the iTunes library file. Those in black are supported only in file tags, or are file information fields.

Controls:

• Two sets of Plus/Minus buttons adjust Height and Width of the panel.
• Check or uncheck a particular listing to make the corresponding column visible or invisible in the Editor.
• Select an item in the list, then click the Up/Down arrow keys on the right to move its position left or right in the Editor.
• Enables or disables a horizontal scroll bar for the list.

Show:

• Standard: Make standard columns (Title, Artist, Album, Comment, Year, Genre, Track, etc) visible while hiding the rest.
• iTunes-All: Makes all valid iTunes columns visible. Hides columns only applicable to the Tag View.
• All: Makes all columns visible. Enabled in iTunes Mode only when the iTunes view is linking to tags . Does not include iTunes-only columns when in Tags Mode.

Toggle:

• All: Alternately makes all columns visible then not visible. In iTunes Mode, does not include columns that are only supported in tags unless the iTunes view is linking to tags . In Tags Mode does not include columns that are only supported in iTunes.
• iTunes-All: Makes all valid columns alternately visible then not visible. Enabled only in iTunes Mode.
• Misc: Toggles various columns (Miscellaneous through URLs, excluding Originals) on and off as a group. Not enabled in iTunes Mode unless the iTunes view is linking to tags.
• Orig: Toggles "Originals" columns (Original Artist, Album, Filename, Lyricist, and Year) on and off as a group. Not enabled in iTunes Mode unless the iTunes view is linking to tags.
• MM: Toggles MusicMatch columns on/off as a group: MusicMatch Tempo through MusicMatch Arranger. Not enabled in iTunes Mode unless the iTunes view is linking to tags.
• Save: Saves current columns properties to one of three backup copies, for a later recall using the Recall button (below).
• Recall: Recalls a column configuration previously saved with the "Save" button (above).
• Default Settings: Resets Editor columns to default visibility, order, and width properties.

Column Popup Menu:

Columns can be hidden, swapped right or left, or have their width reset to a default value by using a context menu available via right-click on a header row cell, or by applying an associated shortcut sequence:

The Hide, Swap and Reset Width functions can also be initiated via shortcut keys.

• Hide: <Alt + Down Arrow>
• Swap right: <Alt + Rigth Arrow>
• Swap left: <Alt + Left Arrow>
• Reset width: <Alt + Up Arrow>

Before using a shortcut, set the column you want to operate on by clicking into one of its column cells (most non-editable columns can be set by right-clicking a cell).

Column Drag-and-Drop:

Most columns in the Editor can also be moved to another location via drag-and-drop: while holding the Control Key depressed, drag a column header cell button onto another column to have the dragged column inserted there. In the image below, the Artist column is being dragged to the Title column position. If released there, the Title column will move to the right and the Artist column will take its place.
