If you address the folder, then you would have to expand

> [@MotleyG](#):
>
> %year% - %dummy%

a little to  
`%year% - %dummy%\%dummy%`  
if you use Converter\>Filename-Tag

or in case of

> [@MotleyG](#):
>
> guess val(u)es

action:  
You need %\_directory% as source. Then the format string would be as you said:

> [@MotleyG](#):
>
> %year% - %dummy%

Also, this problem has been handled in the [FAQs](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/converters-to-rename-files-or-to-import-tags/8016/3).
