Hi all

i was wondering if there is a way when renaming/moving files (ie using the `tag to filename`) to delete the non audio files (such as \*.txt. \*.cue, \*.log etc)? is that possible?

thx alot

MP3tag only treats the files that are currently loaded.  
You could expand the list of treated file extensions in File\>Options\>Tags.  
You would have to delete files manually from the list, though.  
There is no action or function that deletes files automatically.  
(I assume that this is a question about general MP3tag functions as known from the Windows version and not one about specific Mac version features.)
