Hi everyone,  
I recently upgraded to V2.36a. Have now got my Export files working ok apart from a problem with the placeholder for the total number of tracks in the selection.  
When I use \_total it just gives me 0.  
Have tried to read all I can but can not find anything else to try.

Apologies if this is just me missing the obvious

Hope someone can help

Bob

I think you have to use the global placeholder _%\_total\_files%_.

Maybe [this](https://docs.mp3tag.de/format/#export) can help you.

Many thanks for solution.

I don't know how I missed that. (going peculiar in old age I think)  
Have amended script and all is well.  
Thanks again Bob 🙂
