This quick start guide describes how you can tag your files using the new [[Picard Tagger|PicardTagger]]. |
|||
# Select a directory and then drag a directory or files to the '''New files (drag files to tag here)''' folder.<br/><br/>[[Image:picard1.jpg]] |
|||
# Wait for files to show up in the unclustered files folder and click on the '''cluster''' button in the toolbar to cluster files into albums.<br/><br/>[[Image:picard2.jpg]] |
|||
# Highlight a clustered album and click on '''lookup'''. Find the right album using your normal web browser.<br/><br/>[[Image:picard3.jpg]] |
|||
# Click on the [[Image:mblookup-tagger.png]] icon.<br/><br/>[[Image:picard4.jpg]] |
|||
# Drag the clustered album onto the album that was just opened, if it didn't happen automatically.<br/><br/>[[Image:picard5.jpg]] |
|||
# Click on the '''save''' button in the toolbar to save files.<br/><br/>[[Image:picard6.jpg]] |
|||
# A green check mark means the file is saved in its proper location.<br/><br/>[[Image:picard7.jpg]] |

At first there may not seem much to Picard, but a lot of Picard's power is in its extensive drag and drop features. Try some of these operations: |
|||
* Drag a file from the file selector to an album track |
|||
* Drag a file from the file selector to an album -- this attempts to match the file to the album automatically |
|||
* Drag a directory from the dir selector to an album -- this attempts to match all the files from the dir to the album |
|||
* Drag an album cluster onto an album to match the cluster to the album |
|||
* Drag one album onto another to match all the files from one to the other |
|||
* Drag an album cluster into unclustered files to move the cluster back to unclustered |
|||
* Drag album unmatched files onto another album or back to unclustered files |
