Can't tag .ogg files that LMMS outputs

Title explains most.
I have finished project files, I tell LMMS to output to .ogg. I try to use EasyTag to tag the music files properly. When I navigate to the directory in EasyTag, the files do not appear. The files do appear in the terminal, and in my file managers.
I have tried to tinker with the .ogg output settings LMMS has, to no avail. I have tried downloading and using different audio file tagger programs, to no avail. I am very confused by this, as months ago I can recall not having this problem. This problem doesn't occur with exporting to .mp3 on the same projects.
I am using the stable LMMS 1.2.2 appimage. Is there something I am missing here?

I have never heard of such a problem. Are you sure EasyTag can handle .oggs perfectly? Try using Audacity?
It seems to me the problem is the files not appearing in the terminal and file managers itself, not EasyTag's tagging not working.
I don't happen to use a Linux, so I can only tell you that much. An alternative is, you could export wav and then convert to ogg in Audacity.
>as months ago I can recall not having this problem.
Months ago, were you still using 1.2.2 appimage?

Well ..idk ;p
I dont know EasyTag but i do know that the 'ogg' files are
ogg-forbis files. Perhaps this EasyTag are looking for
that
I suppose EasyTag are meant for creating META-tags. Atm there are no LMMS support for that..
Should there be..?
Is that something generally missed?
Let me know
Besides that, since you are new in Forum

Does LMMS output to ogg Opus instead of Vorbis? That is my suspicion.
I am questioning that, that would be the problem. It seems like there isn't a tagger program that supports tagging Opus files, for what reason I would like to find out.

No in encoding LMMS uses ogg-forbis, so opus is not the reason for your issue.
I rather suspect that our ogg-files are not prepared for META-tags.
I would like to know how many users are missing META-tagging. There has to be at least more than one :p

I will try at my end. Noteworthy that OP actually could tag fine a few months ago.

Same issue. Cannot tag ANY .ogg file, forget LMMS outputs. Even Audacity outputs cannot be tagged.
In other words, this seems to be an EasyTag issue.
(Still doesn't explain why OP could tag them a few months ago. oh well.)
