I use MP3Tag routinely and want to automate the repetitive steps, however Macro Express fails to select all the all the files so that they can have numerical codes deleted from the title. Insight Software has no ideas left to suggest how get Macro Express to operate on MP3Tag. Can you help me automa…

So far so good - my macro opens MP3TAg and because of the setting you alerted me to, all the relevant files are selected. Now the macro needs to apply ALT2 to them - that works if I do it manually, but not if I code for it in the macro. I don't expect YOU, Ohrenkino, to guide me through making the m…

I take it that you now need some kind of keyboard shortcut to address the action. If you put the ampersand in front of a letter in the name of an action (group) then this letter becomes the hotkey for that action. E.g. if you have an action (group) called "Delete Date" then "&Delete Date" would ca…

"I take it that you now need some kind of keyboard shortcut to address the action." I have the shortcut - I found it in the CONVERT MENU - it is ALT2. When I do it manually, that works, but when I code for it in the macro, it does not.

'leave out that macro stuff' I'm trying to use a macro because I do not know of another way that automates such processes. AUTOMATION is my aim. Macro Express CAN give 'keyboard input', but this is the second instance in MP3TAG where it fails to have effect.

I just had a look at the screenshots on the Macro Express promo page - there is an option "When Alt key is pressed, capture it twice". I wonder why they included that.

I certainly can not answer your question. Are you hinting at using ALT ALT2 instead of ALT2 ?

[image] Sebastian42: Are you hinting at using ALT ALT2 instead of ALT2 ? If you have not noticed that option, then I would say it is definitely worth a try. It could be that the macro program intercepts the first Alt-key for its own purposes and then MP3tag gets only the "2".

Not only had I not noticed it, but the Insight Software people did not suggest it to me. I have now tried it - no success. I had a look at the website for macro express 6 - did not find anythig about ALT ALT

[image] Sebastian42: did not find anythig about ALT ALT I do not own that program, I only looked at their promo pages and saw that screendump . Whether this leads to Alt Alt or whether the program duplicates a pressed Alt to another Alt - I have no idea. But before we dig any further: have y…
