Hi,

If I use this code don't work:  
$num(%\_counter%,$len(%\_total\_files%))

I have this in track tag:  
1  
2  
3  
...

I want get this:

01  
02  
03  
...

If I use the code I get this:

1  
2  
3  
...

can you solve it?

You have to make sure that %\_total\_files% is filled (is it? Where do you get the value?).  
It may be simpler to just set a fixed number for the padding like "3". This will cater for 999 files.

And I do not think that this is a BUG but simply a request for support.
