Hello, I am trying to use tag to filename conversion on different folders in order to get filename renamed this way : nn-Artist-Title where nn is going from 01 to number of filse in the current folder. Il all went well for the 1st folder nothing iwas going well after. Here is a copi of the folder content and conversion used
In general the preview looks ok to me.
There are some files with leading "00" which would meand that there is no data for TRACK - but otherwise ... where do you see the problem?
The problem is that I was expected the filenames to be
01-Gorka Robles-Pena Baiona.mp3 (ok)
02-Billy Joel_Honnesty.mp3 (and not 00-Billi Joel-Honnesty.mp3 and why the y is replaced by i in Billy)
03-Bordas-Le chant des partisans.mp3 (and not 01-Bordas-Le chant des partisans.mp3)
and so on
The file gets renamed with the data from the tag fields.
If there is no data then the $num() function returns a "0" plus another one as you set it to supply always 2 digits.
The "y" in the filename vanishes as now the data from the tag field ARTIST is used - and there you spell "Billy" as "Billi".
So now you have the alternatives in respect to the number:
use the Track numbering wizard Ctrl-K to fill the field TRACK
or set a different format string for the converter, e.g.
$num(%_counter%,2)-%artist%-%title%
The spelling mistakes in the fields will not be corrected by that. That you would have to do manually beforehand, e.g. with Convert>Filename-Tag if the data in the filename is better than the data in the tag fields.
Many thanks, I understand why it was not working as I expected.
