Is it possible to move files to another folder like you can in the Windows version?

[image] Florian: YI, I've started working on a dedicated function to copy and move files from within Mp3tag this week. It probably won't be released before the end of the month — I'll keep you posted. I've just released Mp3tag for Mac v1.8 with support for copying and moving files from within…

Did you check out the documentation on how to treat files? [image] Rename Files and Import Tags from Files Documentation Mp3tag provides a variety of possibilities to get tag information from parts of the filename or to rename files based on the information stored in the t…

I'm not looking to change the filename or tag info based on the imported data. I want to physically relocate files to other folders like you can in the Windows version using the move function that's built-it. It's missing from the Mac version it seems.

I would think that a moved file is characterized by its new name. So if you rename the file so that its partial or full filename reflects the new target location, then it has been moved.

I had a chat with Florian about this and that won't work for me and I wouldn't even chance trying to script it right now. I can set the filenames, tags and move the files from the Windows system when I'm back at my office.

Does the scripting functions under Action have the ability to pop up a window?

Actions are batch jobs that run without user interaction from start to finish. Also, see the documentation: [image] Quick Actions and Action Groups Documentation Mp3tag for Mac provides a variety of Actions, which can be used on filenames and tags. The actions can be appl…

Thanks, I did go over the documentation as I started to work with the function. I was going to build some actions to move tracks but I working out the plan it's going to require too many of them to be fully useful. It might still experiment with the rename function to move tracks.

The solution I have in mind is to find an app where I can view files in a split screen that will let me view the genre column. Then I can sort by genre, drag and move files via the app and close it when I'm all done cleaning up the tags. If I can call a program from the action function, then I'll …

Going to work with an app called fman, just a basic two panel file manager is all I needed. [image] Dual-pane file manager for Mac, Windows and Linux - fman fman is a dual-pane file manager for Mac, Windows and Linux.

This is the concept.... [Screen Shot 2023-06-02 at 6.28.43 PM]
