I have a directory structure that looks like:
> \_work\_dir_
>
> \Artist
> \Album
> _\Disc ##_
> \track - title
where _work\_dir_ can vary depending on the drive that I am working from and where _Disc ##_ only applies to those albums that have more than one disc.
I currenty execute one of two actions to update the path:
1. Modifies %\_directory% to _Disc ##_ if there is more than one disc (checks either %totaldiscs% or \>1 on the right side of the / in %discnumber%) or to %album% if there is not.
2. Updates the entire %\_filename% but it requires me to update the _work\_dir_ prior to execution.
Here's the question: How can I write an action that will modify the full path that takes into account the fact that the _work\_dir_ can vary?

No ideas?
Florian-
Is there any way to get \ __workingdir_ or \__ workingpath_ as scripting options?
