I had an action that I could run on a bunch of files, and it would move them all to folders based on the Album Artist (i.e. all tracks by ABBA moved into a folder called ABBA etc)
I just updated to the latest version of Mp3tag, and now when I run it, it only moves the first file in the list, and ignores the rest. And then when I run it again it moves the 2nd file etc.
The action is Format Field: _DIRECTORY
Format string: D:\Songs for car\%albumartist%\
Any idea what's changed, or what I can change to get it working again?
Is this the original action you were using? The additional text "Songs for car" isn't reflected in your previous example.
If you already have tags in your files, you can use them to rename files and folders for each song file.
Otherwise you should be able to use the action Format Value for the field _Directory and have all files in that folder moved including pdf and others.
I think, based on your description above, it's best to use an action Format Value for _FILENAME with
D:\Songs for car\%albumartist%\%_filename_ext%
Using _DIRECTORY as field doesn't move the files but really renames the directory the files are stored in. This can lead to undesired results if the action would lead to varying target directories for one base directory.
Hi, yup that's the same action I was using - however it looks like it might be a bug, someone's pointed me towards a report of someone else having the exact same issue - it seems to only affect _DIRECTORY changes.
Yup that is pretty much the exact same issue. Cheers for that, I'll hang on and see if a fix emerges.
I've just released Mp3tag v3.26a which should fix the observed issue.
