It would be great to have a method of quickly assigning a track to multiple crates. I often want to add a track to a handful of crates at once, and it can get tedious, especially if crate creation is required, and multiple tracks are being crated.

Proposed interface:

  1. right click -> quick crate...
  2. Model dialogue "Enter some tags, comma separated": [text-box]
  3. enter "ambient, dark, instrumental, 90s"
  4. track(s) get assigned to each of those crates. If the crates do no already exist, they get created.

This would work particularly well with #5634, if ':' is used as a level separator, e.g. "genre:ambient, mood:dark, instrumental, decade:90s".

Also, this would be great if it had crate auto-completion, a-la question tagging on stackexchange sites.

I think it may be better to implement this in the deck section of the skins. Or maybe both.

I think if https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1271812 was implemented, right-click on the artist/track title in the deck would solve that problem. I don't think this is big enough to warrant an extra button in each deck.

FWIW, I still think a free-tagging style text-based crate assignment and creation dialogue with autocomplete would be useful, but that could be accessed via the context menu.

Hrm.. I wonder if the existing "Create New Crate" dialogue could be re-jigged for this?

It would need the ability to deal with comma-separated names, ideally with auto-completion, and would need to actually add selected tracks to crates, but it could potentially replace the current "Create new Crate" option all together..
