My copy has a Write standard tags checkbox which you could copy the functionality of...

Or if you want something fully custom, make it a comma/semi-colon separated list. That would only take a single text edit box in the preferences. Splitting a string by character to make a set for exclusions would be doddle.

Why is it that album/artist doesn't work but catalog number would? Is it because you're translating names?
Yeah, mostly Japanese albums for games etc. I usually tag with VGMDB first since they're more likely to have album information than MB is, and then fill in the rest with Picard, but this doesn't match up with MB a lot of times since MB might just use only the JP name. So the search doesn't work.

Comments aren't needed in this component I don't think, I was just mentioning that because I saw it mentioned earlier.

The write standard tags checkbox is an interesting idea! If we just want to update the extended metadata and ignore the artist/album/track names that you've meticulously set that would totally work.

I kinda assumed (based on my own use) that people would probably want this on an album by album basis (i.e. MB has the wrong release date and catalog # because this exact release isn't there) and so not sure the comma/separated list is a great substitution, but if that actually improves usability and QoL I can totally add it.

For Add TOC to Musicbrainz, the option to search via the album's existing Musicbrainz ID (already tagged) would be useful. I only submit DiscIDs for albums that I've tagged anyway, so having to search for the album again is just an extra step that isn't needed for me. You'd only have to change the URL to add "&filter-release.query=%MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID%" to it.

That seems like an interesting, low effort QoL improvement. Let me see if I can do something about that.
