Please can we have the following export script placeholder

%\_exportfolderpath% the export output file's folderpath

This is needed to allow relative track references that work for different export file locations.

Also the following could be useful

%\_exportfilepath% the export output file's filepath including extension  
%\_exportfilename\_ext% the export output file's filename including extension i.e. basename

Thanks.

but have since found that this can be done using:

On [https://docs.mp3tag.de/format/#export](https://docs.mp3tag.de/format/#export)  
%\_filename\_rel% Relative file name  
%\_folderpath\_rel% Relative path without file name

so I retract this suggestion.
