For example You have a Double Disc Album. Disc A is in one folder and disc two in another folder. On Disc On A are songs with the same name as on Disc B. If you select both folders at once in MP3tag and you want to rename them by cutting the Band from the Name as given in the folders you'll get two songs with the same name, but they are in different folders. Now MP3tag doesn't reaname them by showing the well known message.
In my opinion MP3tag should check also the folder. Then it would be able ti gove them the same name (but in different folders).
Yes, it's. This is not the heaviest bug ever and there is a workaround; First you renamen all file in folder A and in the second step you rename the files of folder B.
But I thought I'll send you the beavior. Now you can think about being worth it to change or you can live with it. I on my own can live it
Nice greetings, Alex
Could you please show us your Format String you apply for your rename task?
Maybe with a screenshot?
I cannot reproduce it.
I just created the copy of folder to make sure that the filenames are the same in both folders.
Then I loaded only these 2 folders into MP3tag and saw two files each with the same filename.
Then I selected all files,
applied Convert>Tag-Filename with format string %_filename%_a
and now the filenames look like this:
and as you can see: the same filename but different folder names. And all done in 1 go and not folder by folder.
OK, perhaps it's my fault. Didn`t want to make any trouble. I don't realy know how I got the Error. I deletet complete Folders and then I copied again the mp3 to Folder A and B.
And now, there was no hint like mp3Tag cannot rename.
I've an idea, what has been gone wrong. But I can't reproduce it anymore. It's a shame for me, because I was a software developer some time ago. So I shouldn't make such a mistake.
Anyway. Thamk you for answering and I think yuo can delete my post, becausw of being NO bug. Sorry for that
