Vista problem

When I said "KLite" I meant "KLite Codec Pack". I'd never touch K-Lite/K++ with a 10-foot pole.

ahh, so that doesn't rule out that possibility.  Nonetheless, seems unlikely a codec pack would mess with a file's properties... Or does it?

Intreasting, I can edit and I have none of that KLite stuff installed.  Only thing vaguely related I have installed is Tag & Rename.

Well, that rules out that cause.  Perhaps it's just an incomplete SP2 install?  I, for one, have been running an incomplete install of SP2 and things are humming along just fine (Except sometimes apps don't recognize that SP2 is installed, but oh well).

I'd like to see a Compatibility Mode for each of the service packs.

Hi! Good find!

I am on the Windows Shell Team and I just looked into this. This is definitely not the designed behavior, it is a bug. The issue is known and has been fixed in recent builds.

We just verified that it is working correctly on the Beta 2 build.

Thanks for your feedback. Feel free to message me if you have any questions related to the shell or windows explorer.

Thanks,
David

I can't speak for SP2, but this will be fixed in Vista in the official Beta 2 release.

EDIT: Haha, looks like David beat me to it!  I work directly with the Property System (all the plumbing that makes scenarios like this work) so feel free to ping me with questions as well.

Thank you for the reply

Very much appreciated, particularly that I was under the impression that Vista had dropped support for natively editing metadata from within Explorer. Developers could choose to enable it if they did the work with filetypes - for example, Office formats - but not native for most filetypes.

WinXP SP2 doesn't support the behavior "out of the box;" but with the appropiate additions (I believe I'm using te KLite Codec pack as well) it's possible. But certainly not built-in.

I've just installed the Beta 2 build that is now publicly available, but I'm having problems editing ID3 tag information from the Details tab on the File Properties window. Could you provide some more information regarding the status of this fix? Thank you.
