Is it possible to add the alt+key combinations from the Convert drop down to an action group? Granted, it's not much effort to hit the key combinations, but if I could basically have my workflow as an action group the time would saved would add up. ---

See the documentation: > **[Actions – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/#organizing-action-groups)** > > Documentation on Quick Actions and Action Groups that covers replace text, case conversion, tag to tag conversion, duplicate field handling, batch cover import/export, and more.

I'm trying to understand the process, but I'm just not getting. My workflow is this: 1. Blank out the comments field 2. Ctrl + K to use the auto numbering wizard 3. Paste album art I found from apple music using google image search 4. Make any changes to Year, Genre, Artist or Album Artist 5. Alt + 1 to rename the files 6. Alt + 5 to move the files What I'm looking at attempting to do is add Steps 1, 2, 5, and 6 to an Action Group I already have setup. I don't see or find documentation where this is possible. My Action Group would then be these steps: 1. Paste album art I found from apple music using google image search 2. Make any changes to any fields 3. Blank out comments field 4. Ctrl + K to renumber tracks (auto numbering wizard) 5. Convert Case 6. Make year 4 digit 7. Export cover to file 8. Alt + 1 to rename files 9. Alt + 5 to move files I don't see an option in the Action Groups to implement the Alt or Ctrl Key combinations from a menu... Thanks ---

You cannot use the numbering wizard as part of an action. At least not with all the functions to reset the counter. The closest you get is an action of the type "Format value" and Format string `%_counter%`. To remove a field, use an action of the type "Remove field". steps 8 &9 could be combined in a single action of the type "Format value" for \_FILENAME in which you assign the path and the filename. See also the documentation: > **[Rename Files – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rename-files/#create-folder-structures-based-on-tags)** > > Documentation on Tag to Filename, a converter to rename files based on tags. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor. | Convert | Action | | --- | --- | | Convert\>Filename-Tag | Guess value with source %\_FILENAME% | | Convert\>Tag-Filename | Format value for \_FILENAME | | Convert\>Filename-Filename | Replace with regular expression for \_FILENAME | | Convert\>Tag-Tag | Format value | | Convert\> Textfile-Tag | has no equivalent. The action "Import text file" works differently. | ---
