Running MP3Tag 1.5 on macOS 12.4. I've used MP3Tag on Windows for many years and I've been using MP3Tag for Mac since release, but I've only recently really started to try more sophisticated actions. Today I tried to use an action group to rename files and sort them into new directories, but MP3Tag could not complete the action due to a permissions error.
Action #1:
Field: _DIRECTORY
Format: %_workingpath%/%albumartist%/%album%/Action #2:
Field: _FILENAME
Format: $num(%track%,2) %title%
Error message when running action:
You donāt have permission to save the file āOrchestral Fantasy 2016 Vol. 1ā in the folder āOrchestral Fantasyā.To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.
The source directory is:
/Users/user/Desktop/_Music Org Project/YT Musicians (Needs Organized)/Andrew Thompson (Orchestral Fantasy)/Orchestral Fantasy Patreon
The destination directory is intended to be:
/Users/users/Desktop/_Music Org Project/YT Musicians (Needs Organized)/Andrew Thompson (Orchestral Fantasy)/Album Artist/Album
I've granted MP3Tag Full Disk permissions, restarted the app and the Mac, added the files by dragging and dropping the parent directory ("Andrew Thompson (Orchestral Fantasy)") and by using CMD+O to open the parent directory.
Is there a process error that I'm missing? Am I using the %_workingpath% parameter incorrectly?
I also had the same error when I attempted to organize within the existing directory using the Format Tag Field quick action below on the the _FILENAME and _DIRECTORY fields.
Quick Action :
Format: %_folderpath%/%albumartist%/%album%
Thanks for any help and for a great application all these years.
