In both Replace and Replace with regular expression, the field option only includes \_ALL, \_DIRECTORY, \_FILENAME, and \_TAG (along with tag fields). So say I have a file:
C:\cd collection\aéro\newfolder\album\blahblah.mp3
and the album tag is aéro
and I want to change é to e in only the file path, I can't just replace \_ALL since that will also replace é in the album tag, but using \_DIRECTORY does not work since it seems to only replace in the immediate parent direction.
Any other way to do it?
