you also told Mp3tag to move this file into a directory structure %1\%2\
which is 02480002922629\1\ after replacing the placeholders.
Sure, but I expected that directory structure to be at the position I specified in Old filename pattern. I.e. the new pattern is supposed to replace the old i.e. at the same position.
Experimenting more, I find that operation ignores the position of the old filename pattern, and uses instead the current directory. This looks like a fault to me. Certainly it is undesirable behaviour e.g. it makes it impossible swap %1 and %3 in this case.
Florian, I woinder if this is related to the V2.39->V2.40 change of behaviour reported in Bug Or New Feature ? .
