Can I make an action that will write tags album from the parent dir

for example: I have dir Rammstein and subdirectories with album names : Mutter, Rosenrot... and the action should take the the dir name and put it into the artist tag

I hope you understand me

Thx

never mind i found a way to do this:

_Action type:_ **Format value**  
_Field:_ **ALBUM**  
_Formatstring:_ **%\_directory%**
