I am look for a way to "Preview" actions in the "Action Group Editor".

In the "Tag - Filename" and "Filename - Tag" converter menu a preview of your "format string" is displayed using the select file as an example.

Is there the possibility of the same for the actions editor in the "Actions Group".

I am new to the program and this would make if much easier to build the actions and format strings.

Thanks,  
Marc

No, but you can use the converter as a preview and copy&paste the format strings into the actions.
