Hey,
It would be cool to have an action rename files based on tags, so I can add that to my action groups instead of pressing that button every time I apply my action groups. Since that option already exists, I hope it's not too hard to implement as an action.
Except for that, I absolutely love this software, and it's probably the only good tag editor for mac currently. So many thanks for making and maintaining it!

Many thanks for your feedback! Happy you like Mp3tag 🙂
Regarding renaming files based on tag: you can use an action of type **Format tag field** where you'd use `_FILENAME` as field and the format string you'd usually use at converter **Tag - Filename** as format string.
