Hi,
First of all - very cool tool! I like it a lot, but some features would imporve it to be perfect (maybe it is already possible, but I haven't found it... then please let me know how to do it)!
When you use "Auto Tag from Filenames", it is not possible to enter a placeholder. e.g:
you have to do it the following way
1<TrackNr>-<TRASH>.mp3
2<TrackNr>-<TRASH>.mp3
instead of a placeholder (a kind of a simple regular expression...)
[?]<TrackNr>-<TRASH>.mp3
Where the [?] stand for a alphanumeric char (numeric or character, which could be "0-9" or "a-z" etc.). That is just an example, you can use other markings as well (mabye ? is enough...)
The following shoud also be possible:
[?][?]<TrackNr>[?]-[?]<TRASH>.mp3
I think that will be quite easy to implement... What do you think?

I believe that the way to do this is:
<TRASH:1><TrackNr>-<TRASH>.mp3
Check out the Parsing Template section of Help.

Yep, just as calberga says, that's the way to do it. Thanks for the assist as usual C.

WOW! I din't know that... <TRASH:1>
so the syntax is <TRASH:#> where # contains the length

Yep, that's correct. Also please see the help file for more info on the possible template fields.
