When multiple folders are opened, mp3tag writes only a single export file to the latest folder opened. I expected that every folder had its own mp3tag.txt.  
Version: 2.41 and 2.41b.

You must check [X] One file per directory  
What is in the Export file name field?

Change the name to _%\_folderpath%mp3tag.txt_

The best way to do this, open the config file and edit $filename function:  
$filename(%\_folderpath%mp3tag.txt,utf-16)
