Thank you so much for your help ohrenkino.

actions \> actions \> new \> (enter name) \> new \> Format Value  
Field = \_FILENAME  
Format String = the second half of what I had before

...then...

new \> Format Value  
field = \_DIRECTORY  
Format String = the first half of what I had before

...gives me a single click action that does exactly what I was doing before, but moves all the non-audio files too. As you said, folders can be joined without a problem (any duplicate filenames in the two folders cause a normal windows file overwrite warning to be displayed). You can't split folders this way, but I don't need to do this at the moment. My previous method would happily split folders, so I guess I can add that as a third step if ever needed.

Many thanks again.

David.  
P.S. no idea where that link in my first post came from. It should have been...  
[/t/14613/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/14613/1)  
...which is a current thread discussing almost the same thing, but I did not understand how it was relevant until you explained that it would work for what I was trying to do.
