Hi, I would like to rename my files according to this scheme:
I tried to use this action, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? $validate($if($isdigit(%track%),'('$num(%track%)') ',2),)%artist% - %title%,_) |

ZITAT(Prorok Rak @ Mar 21 2012, 16:03)  If there is not track number... You could use the converter Tag-Filename and the mask [(%track%) ]%artist% - %title% The square brackets enclose the optional part -------------------- 42 - wie war die Frage / what was the question / comment était la question

Unbelievable. Who would say it's so easy.
Thank you. |

If it is crucial for your naming filenames, that %track% has to be a number, this is the optional %track% part like you wanted it in the first way:
$if($isdigit(%track%),'('$num(%track%,2)')' ,) |

Not sure how much detail you want in your filenames but this is how I like my filenames....
If I have multi disc sets then I append the discnumber as in the format below. Inversely, no multi disc just %track% %title% %discnumber%-%track% %title% For example: The Album "Days of Rising Doom" from AINA. Disc 2, Track 2 would look like this: 2-17 The Beast Within (I also number all tracks sequentially from 1 - number of tracks ... this seems to make it easier for some apps in the sorting process I have found) I suppose the mechanics of it may be a bit confusing. But if you have the field %totaldiscs% or an equivalent this will work in your action group ... Action:Format Value 1. Field: _FILENAME 2. Format String: $ifgreater(%totaldiscs%,1,$left(%discnumber%,2)-$num(%track%,2) %title%,$num(%track%,2) %title%) Hope this helps you.... This post has been edited by ra7h35m20s: Apr 25 2012, 23:34 |

QUOTE (Prorok Rak @ Mar 21 2012, 17:03) Hi, I would like to rename my files according to this scheme:
Try this format string expression with an action of your choice ... $if(%TRACK%,'('$num(%TRACK%,2)') ',%DUMMY%)%ARTIST%' - '%TITLE%) If you want to prepend the running disc number, then try this expression ... $ifgreater(%TOTALDISCS%,1,$num(%DISCNUMBER%,1)'-',%DUMMY%)$if(%TRACK%,'('$num(%TRACK%,2)') ',%DUMMY%)%ARTIST%' - '%TITLE%) DD.20120436.0636.CEST This post has been edited by DetlevD: Apr 26 2012, 05:42 -------------------- * Beyond that, don't ask, when you don't know what to do with the answer. *
