I'm a newcomer to mp3 tagging - and I can't figure out how to rename files in a smart way before I convert tag to filename. I've tried renaming and tagging file nr one, save it, and then I would expect to be able to rename file and tag in one conversion? But filenames which are not renamed stay the same? ![:mt_help:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/19cca418c834ef7dd8cb0a3874372f529dd71879.png ":mt\_help:")
