Hi Folks,

I do not know if somebody had already the same idea or if it is very sensible, but I abused the export feature to create Batch-files.  
The examples attached to this posting create batch files, that copy selected files to a certain subfolder of the folder the exported batch file has been written to using different data fields to create the sub-folder structure. The batch-file copies the particular mp3-file first to the %temp%-folder before it writes it to the final folder. This is because coping directly form USB-Device to USB-Device takes longer then form and to internal hard disk to USB-device on my system.

The nice thing is that the batch file can be executed after export. Just click yes when "display file now?" is prompted.

These are only examples. The possibilities of other export configurations in this manner should be endless
