+---Topic: Trying to Add an Option to the Shell started by Raven001


Posted by: Raven001 on Dec. 23 2002,07:18

I'd like to create a shell extension which would rename any folder to "<Artist> - <Year> - <Album>" (based on the id3 tags of the mp3s in the folder). However, I can't figure out how to add this to the Shell properly.

Could anyone lend a hand?

Thanks!

You cannot directly rename folders in Mp3/Tag Studio, since its processing is file-based, and not folder based. Folder based processing would also lead to problems when not all the files in a directory had consistent info and such. But you can indeed sort the contents of a folder into new subdirectories of the format you specify, by using the following (advanced mode) template with the auto rename tool:



---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<Artist> - <Year> - <Album><\><OldFileName>
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------


end
