Subject: [Matroska-general] MKV properties

Hi I am trying to organize my Mkv video collection by using tags to do =
it more searchable. I would like to add tags like genre, theme, producer =
etc. This is easily done with an MP4 where all I have to do is go into =
the properties panel and change it there, but with MKV there isn't any =
options to do this. I have tried to manually merge an xml tag file into =
the mkv, but when I do this the only program that can read the tags is =
MKVinfo. The purpose of these tags are that I easily could search in =
explorer by typing stuff like Comment:action etc. Is there a way to =
either make the tags show up in explorer when merging it manually or an =
easier way to insert tags to a mkv file? If there isn't than I hope you =
would take it into consideration to implement this feature to the mkv =
standard.=20
