Just a quick one. In Actions, using **Guess values** doesn’t split up a found value into separate tags when `\\` is included. So `Hello\\World` stays exactly as that string in a single tag until the file is opened in **Extended Tags** then clicking OK, where the split is then made. Ctrl+S doesn’t solve it.
An easy fix is just saving the tag again with **Format value** but for an Action I’m working on, that’s an extra 40 steps added. 😅
Don’t want to call it a bug, just a wee thing that could be remedied without affecting previous Actions.

Thank you (also for the helpful example)! I'll look into it and will keep you posted.

I've added this with [Mp3tag v3.34-beta.4](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455).

Tested and works. Nice one 👍
