Trying to move ft. and everything to the right of it from filename to artist.
So this only works correctly if I filter just ft.
Gives me name already exist error if I don't filter.
Feel like this could be another "DUMMY" issue, changed action types, tried a few other things, but can't get it to work without filtering.
Format tag field “ARTIST”:%artist% $mid(%\_filename%,$strstr(%\_filename%,'ft.'),$len(%\_filename%))
Format tag field “\_FILENAME”:$if($strstr(%\_filename%,'ft.'),$left(%\_filename%,$strstr(%\_filename%,' ft.')), $ignore\_error)
Format tag filed “\_FILENAME”:$trim(%\_filename%)

Looks pretty darn similar to your other topic.

> I have this action group, with 3 actions. It basically copy's artist to albumartist, then trims off anything from "ft." to the end of the field. The good is that it works perfectly if the artist has a featured artist in the field. The bad is that if the artist doesn't have "ft." in the field, it removes the tagging from the albumartist field, leaving it blank. I have tried tweaking it, but keep getting the same outcome. Anyone have a solution for this? Import tag fields “%ARTIST%”:%ALBUMAR…
Change %Albumartist% to %\_filename% is about the only difference?
