in the beginning i hardly understood the actions in MP3Tag but now I do.....

But I've manages to create 3 different action groups  
But I'd like to merge one of my action groups..

if I recall well when i exported my actions when I reinstalled my computer. I can edit them manually?

Perhaps i can copy and paste them into the other action group?

Only way I know is to:

1. Navigate to ... _Mp3tag\data\actions_ folder
2. Copy one of the existing files and name it e.g. '_Merged actions.mta_'
3. Open the 3 existing .mta files and copy the relevant actions into the newly created _'Merged actions.mta_
4. Renumber them in order where necessary (you will see [#0], [#1] etc.)
5. Done.

**OR** another option is to click ![:mt_act:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/318aa654f7a0c7c178d869991f6e8680b214cfc0.png ":mt\_act:") (ALT + 6) and tick the boxes you use all the time like so \>\>\>

then hit return on your keyboard.

This worked! and this is what I was talking about 🙂 Thank you very much!.. I had fun renumbering all the fields 🙂 But it was worth it.
