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 ?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/6277/3) .
