Hi!

First of all, I hope, that I'm posting in the correct sub-forum. Otherwise, please move it!

In the "Fileoperations" -> "Move, rename,...", is it possible to define the "Output direcorty" with tagz?
I would like to move albums (selection of files) to i.e. "D:\Alben\%artist%\%album%\"
Is this already possible?

If not. Would you please consider implementing this?


Thank you!

You can set "Ouput directory" to "D:\Alben" and prefix your filename formatting string with "%artist%\%album%\".

Thank you foosion!
Great Idea!!


This is the script I'm using:
\%artist%\%album%\%artist% - %tracknumber% - %title%


While editing I tried to select the whole string with ctrl+a. Do you consider adding this little feature?


edit:
I played around with it a little bit:
Here is what I got (attachment).
My problem is that, the second %artist% is vanished. Is this my fault?

Considering that Microsoft lists Ctrl+A as one of the standard keyboard shortcuts, it is quite annoying that almost none - if any - of the standard controls supports it by default. Enabling this in each and every dialog is also annoying.

Okay, enough ranting. I usually use the key sequence Home, Shift+End instead of Ctrl+A in edit boxes to work around this.

I do this too, if ctrl+a doesn't work. I just edited my obove post. Would you please take one more look at it?

edit:
It seems this is because of the "Do what" setting.
As it is set here (I want to move i.e. the folder.jpg too) it won't simoultanously rename the files.
With "rename or move files" it is working.
Might this behaviour been changed?

About Ctrl-A: I use Tab and Shift-Tab to navigate. When you move back with Shift-Tab, it will make the content selected.

That is because you selected: "move entire parent directories, preserve structure and filenames"
If the filename should be preserved, the file could not be renamed.

Yup, I use End, Shift+Home myself

Yes R@M. I found that out too (see my quoted edit).
The best situation for me would be a combination of both actions, since I both would like to rename and move the files.

Might this get implemented?

Thank you!

Ya it would be nice if you could remove files that are in the dir with it, but still rename the music files - this would be really helpful when dealing with folder.jpg album art :]

This is exaclty my intention.
Let's see, if Peter or foosion leaves a comment on this.

In the meantime, you could just perform a "rename files" action after "move entire parent directories, preserve structure and filenames" was carried out.

this is how i do it now, it is twice the work though.
i too vote for a "move entire parent directories and RENAME files" option

Tich

Yeah thats what I just thought of :]

Frank_Bicking, tool++, don't worry, that's exactly, what I'm doing right now!

Anyone?

I dare to bump this thread - I thought of it while posting this thread: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=46837

Will there be development on both moving and renaming files?
