"Filename - Tag" ICON

[DetlevD]

@zerow

Hello I would like to now is there is a way to use the "Filename - Tag", so it would automatically change all "_" characters from filename into "/" characters in the tag "title"?

The purpose of the converter "Filename - Tag" is ... to split the file name into parts using a mask, ...
and put the parts automagically into the corresponding tag-fields, which are defined by the given mask format string.

If you want to replace one or more characters in a string, ...
then use the action "Replace" resp. the function $replace(), ...
or use the advanced action "Replace using Regular Expression" resp. the function $regexp().

The functionality of the interactive converters can be replaced by action resp. action groups.

I would also like to use the icon "Tag - Filename" other way around: that it would automatically change all "/" characters from "title" tag into "_" characters in the filename?

With the help of the converter "Tag - Filename" it is possible to rename the selected files, based on the embedded tag information.

If you want to replace one or more characters in a string, ...
then use the action "Replace" resp. the function $replace(), ...
or use the advanced action "Replace using Regular Expression" resp. the function $regexp().

Example using action "Format value" and function $replace() ...

_FILENAME <== $replace(%ARTIST%' - '%ALBUM%' - '$num(%TRACK%,2)' - '%TITLE%,'/','_')

Example for bijective mapping ...

_FILENAME <== $replace(%TAGFIELD%,'/','_',':.','...',':','..') TAGFIELD <== $replace(%_filename%,'_','/','...',':.','..',':')
