When constructing an action group, is there any way to make 'Convert tag\>filename' (format string %artist% - %title%) part of the action group? This would enable me to have a one click action for a process I use fairly regularly.
Sorry if this has been answered, I have searched but couldn't find it anywhere.

Example:
Actiongroup: **Format Filename**
Action #1
_Actiontype 5:_ **Format tag field**
_Field:_ **_FILENAME_**
_Formatstring:_ **$num(%TRACK%,2)''%TITLE%''%ARTIST%''%ALBUM%'\_'$left(%YEAR%,4)**
