Maybe a stupid question but here is an example of what i am dealing with. I try to use this actions as the image shows. [1] So when i move the files to the folder i should get the path of the one who have been moved and the other should show me the same path. But as you can see in the image i ge…

The only way I can explain the whole thing: The first file gets treated as it should. Which means that all actions except the one to make an OS call to rename the file are carried out. This includes the creation of the new name. _FOLDERPATH is also resolved to a fixed string and set to the new n…

I can not reproduce this behaviour. After creating the 3 actions in the same actiongroup and then executed it, you can see the different path contents in the columns as well as in the Alt + T window [FolderPath-Problem] [image]

So! What are you doing right; Just to make it clear I use two files not one. With the same tag values. Also i think we have a conflict here with you "LyricsLover" and "ohrenkino"

Is there a wait in the execution of the actions;

Actions that modify the filename or path are always executed last.
You would have to split them up unto different action groups.
