Cut & Paste not allowed into Overview on music albums. Why?

[Lonald 10]

I use Emby for music listening as it provides a great library function.  This functionality would help allow for me to have context on each album.

Thanks!

I'm able to copy and paste just fine the metadata editor for an album, can you provide an example where it's not working?

Are you just trying to edit the display on the album page?  You can't do that - you need to edit the metadata which is being displayed. 

You can do this in the metadata editor; or by right-clicking on the album poster in the library display, or selecting the three-dot menu on the same poster or in the album display, and then choosing "Edit Metadata" from the menu.

Thanks, I should have said that I was using the metadata edit function.

Right-clicking in the window for editing does not bring up the usual menu options; it actually does nothing at all.

However, given that, I tried Ctrl-V and indeed that pasted the clipboard contents and I was able to save it.

 

All good now, appreciate the insight that it's not a design issue!

I am also getting a right click context menu in the metadata editor so might be an issue with the browser you're using. But glad that ctrl+v is working fine at least.

Hmmmm... I'm using the Emby Theater app in Windows.

Thanks for clarifying that, there are no right click context menus in that application with regards to metadata editing - anywhere, not just albums.

Yes from the app standpoint this function does not exist.  It will only exist in the browser.
