            Bug ID: 480177
           Summary: Add metadata dropdown is too annoying
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Elisa
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Neon
                OS: All
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: matthieu_gall...@yahoo.fr
          Reporter: emir_s...@icloud.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Let's say, I have a file without metadata. I have all the information at hand.
I want to fill it out.

When I go into the edit mode, I need to click the dropdown and select what I
want to add ONE BY ONE. This is borderline hostile behaviour. Why not have all
the metadata fields in the open like EVERY OTHER music player out there? So
that I could just TAB my way in?

Another anti-UX behaviour is that, when I add a new field from the drop-down,
it is downright impossible to understand that a field is added to the very
bottom. Also the behaviour is buggy in itself, after clicking the drop-down,
and selecting a field, a poorly padded and poorly positioned error overlay,
that says the data is invalid and it's empty, messes with the layout even more.

Even if I add all the fields one by one, I need to scroll to see all the
fields, is very annoying. There should be a simple way to position everything
nicely like those old boring programs with gazillions of text fields next to
each other. You know, those you enter your personal details and info about your
previous 10 generation of family. Now, that is good layout (read it in Jerry
Seinfeld voice).
