Hi everyone I need help again for an action I am using the GETCOVERINFO Step 1 to 6 wich i found on this forums This is separate like this Action 1-3 and after i have to go to the Folder that contains the File "Mp3tag.IM.identify" What i would like to do is to add an action after Step 3 to open automatically THE FOLDER where i can find the File "Mp3tag.IM.identify" (D:\TEST\COVERS) to run Thank you Martin ---

It is not possible to stop in the middle of an action group. Still, I do not understand why you need it and what you mean by "open the folder" as usually opening a folder in the explorer does not influence anything in MP3tag. Why don't you replace the original settings in the script with the paths in your system? ---

The folder where the action GETCOVERINFO create the Bat fileis not the same folder where my musics files are stored (External HArd Disk Drive) I have 3 HDD to store my music and I think it easier to have always the same folder for this action. After Step 3 , i have to open the Folder (D:\TEST\COVERS) that is on my computer to run the Bat file Mp3tag.IM.identify Martin ---

Why don't you replace any reference to O:\TEST\COVERS\identify.in.txt of the original script with the environment on your system? ---

> [@faisdlair](#): > > ... What i would like to do is to add an action after Step 3 to open automatically THE FOLDER where i can find the File "Mp3tag.IM.identify" ... Just some ideas ... you have to try out and make it run for yourself. 1. Create a shortcut on the desktop, which opens the target folder, ... or which starts the command file "Mp3tag.magick.identify.cmd". 2. Create a Mp3tag tool ... Name: &Explorer here Path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Parameter: '/e,/select,"'%\_path%'"' ... adapt the target path if needed. 3. Create a Mp3tag report file ... $filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\Mp3tag.Test.OpenFolder.cmd',ANSI) '@ECHO OFF' 'START "TEST" "%TEMP%"' ... adapt the target path if needed. Try out if it would run automatically when exported manually or by action, I don't know. DD.20160329.2319.CEST ---
