This may well have been covered before.However i can't seem to find instructions that will help me ... maybe i am just too frustrated now to see/think clearly.I did figure this out before but have reinstalled Windows recently but foolish me did not back up my mp3 configs.
I need to rename the folders containing files without moving said files or creating another folder and copying/moving those files to that folder.I know how to do that but that action does not move non-music files in that action too and i need to keep everything together
I know what info i need to rename the folders which is this :
%comment% - %album% - %album artist% - %year%
%comment% may be a strange one to use but it contains Cat# which for me is essential.Any help is and will be appreciated.I apologise too if this has been covered before ...

You can try an action Format value for \_DIRECTORY

Seems so obvious now ... thank you very much !
I have one more question though.Is there a way to keep the same letter case.It capitalises the first letter but makes the following lowercase.
eg : cat# should be METH042 rather than Meth042.
I could always run the entire lot folders through a renaming app but if i could save myself the hassle it would too be appreciated.
