First of all, thanks for an excellent program!

I have just started discovering the power of the "Convert/Actions" menu item. I have built some useful actions including one to split titles of the form " / " into separate artist and title tags.

One thing which would be useful would be the ability to specify "parameters" for the action, so that (for example) I could use a different separator for a particular set of files. I know I can edit the action, but this isn't quite as convenient (and I have to remember to change it back, after I have finished). Also, being able to have the tags as parameters would be useful - then I could use the same action to split tags in different ways (for example, splitting title with the pattern " - ").

Is this something that might be added? (Assuming I haven't missed a way of doing it already...)

Paul.

Sorry, but this is not planned at the moment.

You can simply duplicate an existing action set and change the parameters of the actions.
