This need for a solution to this improvement of my usage of Mp3tag sprung first here: [Audacity file load bug](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/17381/6)

And the solution given was this:

And so an action like

```
Foramt value "_FILENAME": C:\TheNewFolder\\%_FILENAME%

```

works as it should

But still, could this be done somehow with Tools? So I could simply push CTRL + a digit? And by doing that also making it disappear from the list of loaded files?
