Hi!
I'm so happy with the MacOs version. It's so user friendly compared to Wine 
But, in the Windows version, I'm using a lot the "filename to filename" converter.
Is there a way to do that on the MacOs version? I didn't find anything about that...
Thanks
Hi and welcome!
Many thanks for the feedback! Happy you like it 
The Filename - Filename converter doesn't exist (yet?) in Mp3tag for Mac. I wasn't sure if it's used that much at all.
Do you maybe have a common use case for that, where I can suggest an alternative solution?
Hi!
I used a lot the filename > filename converter to move the featuring artists at the end of the filename and when I have extra info such: radio edit, remastered... I put them between [ ]
Without extra info
Old name: %1 '- '%2' (feat. '%3')' - %4
New name: %1 '- '%2 - %4' (feat. '%3')'
With extra info
Old name: %1 - %2 feat. %3 - %4 (%5)
New name: %1 '- '%2 - %4' (feat. '%3')' '['%5']'
I have found a trick to move the featuring artists after the title.
%title% (feat. $mid(%artist%,$add($strstr(%artist%,'feat.'),6),$len(%artist%))))
But I have no idea to make a condition when there are extra info and put them between [ ]
If you have a solution...
Many thanks for your help ^^
I found a trick. I'm not a developer at all but it works
$replace($ifgreater(%discnumber%,0,$num(%discnumber%,2)'-',)$num(%track%,2) - $ifgreater($strstr(%artist%,'feat.'),0,$left(%artist%,$strstr(%artist%,' feat.'))- $ifgreater($strstr(%title%,'('),0,$trim($mid(%title%,0,$sub($strstr(%title%,'('),1),$len(%title%))),%title%) (feat. $mid(%artist%,$add($strstr(%artist%,'feat.'),6),$len(%artist%)))$ifgreater($strstr(%title%,'('),0, $replace($mid(%title%,$strstr(%title%,'('),$len(%title%),0),'(','[',')',']'),),%artist% - $if($neql($strchr(%title%,'('),$strrchr(%title%,'(')),$mid(%title%,0,$sub($strchr(%title%,'('),1))$mid(%title%,$strchr(%title%,'('),$add($sub($strchr(%title%,')'),$strchr(%title%,'(')),1)) $replace($mid(%title%,$strrchr(%title%,'('),$len(%title%)),'(','[',')',']'),%title%)),'?',,'/','-',':','-',' :',' -',' ?',,' ',' ')
Results:
02-04 - Madonna - Give Me All Your Luvin' (feat. Nicki Minaj & M.I.A.) [radio edit]
02-07 - Matt Houston - Positif (feat. P-Square)
Wow! This is quite complex 
I take it as a motivation to work on the Filename - Filename converter.
Ahahah. I think it can be done with regular expressions to simplify but I'm a n00b with regex
I'll add my vote for this feature as well. I don't use it a ton, but there are scenarios where it is nice to have on hand. I can work around it using an export to text file and then importing from the text file, but reducing it to a single step would be nice.
A real example would be helpful.
Esp. as I don't see the benefit of the text file.
IMHO, you either copy the current filename to a user-defined field and manipulate it there and then write the result to the filename or you create the filename from the tag data.
At least that would be the most straightforward way for me. Hence, the request for an actual use-case.
I know a specific example would be helpful, but I can't think of one right now. One scenario I have used the feature has been on files that don't have tags. I could use various means to build the tags, or create the tags from the file name and then modify the file name based on the tags that now exist. However, I know there were times where it was helpful to just skip the additional steps, whether that be using a text file, a user defined field, or other options for getting to the same goal of modifying the file name based on the existing file name. Not a huge deal by any means, but it did come in handy at times.
Very interested in this too. I have a specific case where I need this, but I think I might start a separate post for that use, as I need it for filling in a field that isn't usually used that I might need filled in.
