Backslash bug when handling multiple files

[ZEROplus]

The explanation goes better with an example

Suppose I have 5 mp3 files named as

1.mp3
2.mp3
3.mp3
4.mp3
5.mp3

Say, I just want to creat directory for those files with name less than 3. The expected result is therefore

1\1.mp3
2\2.mp3
3.mp3
4.mp3
5.mp3

with the following filename - filename script

mask for old name: %1
mask for new name: $if($less(%1,3),%1\,)%1

I have now the result

1\1.mp3
2\2.mp3
2\3.mp3
2\4.mp3
2\5.mp3

Simply put, the scripting engine does not reset directory when handling multiple files

It seems, that you have found a bug.

See another example:

Converter Filename - Filename
Mask old: %1
Mask new (Formatstring):

$if($less($num(%1,1),3),$num(%1,1)'\'%1,%1)

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\01 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\1\01 - Music.mp3"

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\02 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\2\02 - Music.mp3"

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\03 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\2\03 - Music.mp3"

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\04 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\2\04 - Music.mp3"

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\05 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\2\05 - Music.mp3"

Converter Tag - Filename
Formatstring:

$if($less($num(%_filename%,1),3),$num(%_filename%,1)'\'%_filename%,%_filename%)

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\01 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\1\01 - Music.mp3"

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\02 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\2\02 - Music.mp3"

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\03 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\03 - Music.mp3"

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\04 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\04 - Music.mp3"

"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\05 - Music.mp3" ->
"O:\TEST\T1\Folder\05 - Music.mp3"

As you can see, there is a workaround.

This is now fixed with Mp3tag v2.90e.
