Hi! I'll make with your help and action to export the field URL to a file.url. For example: Artist ------- year - album ------- year - album ------- year - album ------- year - album When drop the Artist folder in MP3Tag and run the action, just export a file.url into a first folder but I need a file.url for each folder and/or subfolder. This is the script I use: $filename(url,ansi)'[InternetShortcut]' URL=%URL% Any suggestion? ---

Try this: ```auto $filename(%_folderpath%%_directory%.url,ansi)'[InternetShortcut]' URL=%URL% ``` With check-mark for "One file per directory" when exporting. ---

Doens't work. If I drop the Artist folder, the file is generated in that folder and nothing more Artist ------- year - album ------- year - album ------- year - album ------- year - album **file.url** **file.url** **file.url** **file.url** What I need: Artist ------- year - album **file.url** ------- year - album **file.url** ------- year - album **file.url** ------- year - album **file.url** ---

I don't understand your folder structure. Is "------- year - album" a sub-folder of "Album"? How can there be multiple files (or sub-folders) with the same name in the folder "Album"? Post a screenshot of your actual folder structure to make it clear. The Export function does not create 1 file for every selected file. That can be done by using a Tool. ---

I'm sorry... that's is and example. This is a real structure: [![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8b122a8765668d837ff63f242f6d1810c6fef758.jpeg)](https://postimg.cc/2LbsQB5D) So the main folder is "a-ha" and every subfolder, is an album, maxi, single, compilation, etc... I need export 1 file.url per subfolder. With your help now export 1 file.url per directory but the files appears in the main directory not in each folder.

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce your results. My previous solution creates 1 file in each subfolder. Maybe you should show the contents of one of the album sub-folders. And attach the MTE file, found here: %APPDATA%\Mp3tag\export. ![export message](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5ab951499018c791c56153b1fb2fab5f98a9ad10.jpeg) ---
