'''Quick Tagger''' adds customizable context menu commands for quickly setting [[tags|tag]] fields to preconfigured values (for rating and such). Can be used to bind keyboard shortcuts to quick simple tag modifications.

Example configuration:

# Tell Quick Tagger what settings it shall offer: Open Menubar > File > Preferences > Tools > Tagging > Quick Tagger
## Click "Add New", enter "Rating" in "Field Name" and enter "1;2;3;4;5" in "Values" field
## Set "Require confirmation before processing more than X tracks" to e.g. 5 in order to avoid accidentlyrating ''all your files''
## Click "Apply"
# Restart foobar2000 to make "Set Rating" actions appear in next step
# Tell foobar2000 to call Quick Tagger via keyboard shortcuts, so it's quick & easy to set ratings: Open Menubar > File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
## Click "Add New"
## Enter "rating" in "Filter list by" to avoid lengthy navigation to "[context] > Tagging > Quick Tagger > Set <Rating> to"
## In the tree, click "1"
## Click into "Key" field and press e.g. CTRL+1
## Repeat steps above for 2..5 and for 0 to "Remove Field" i.e. setting no rating
## Click "Apply"
# Make the ratings visible in playlists: Open Menubar > File > Preferences > Display > Default User Interface > Playlist View > Custom columns
## Click "Add new"
## Enter "Rating" in "Name" field
## Enter "$meta(rating)" in "Pattern" field
## Select Alignment "Center"
## Click "Apply"
## In foobar2000's main window, in a playlist, right click column title bar > Columns > Rating.

To Make this work on Columns UI:

## In Preferences menu, go to Display->Columns UI->Playlist view
## Go to Columns tab
## Create the "Rating" column (click New to do this)
## Then click the "Display script" tab and paste the following code:

$rgb(233,155,12,233,155,12)$repeat(★,$meta(rating))$rgb()$repeat(✩,$sub(5,$meta(rating)))

This will make the stars appear in the columns UI playlist.
Also remember to disable the "Playback Statistics" (foo_playcount) component since it conflicts with your manually managed ratings (it erases the rating after 1 min of playback of the file).
