I'm using multipart fields in Tag-from-Filename, and I have noticed that when I have the following:
<TRASH>- <Title-1[| ]> [<TRASH>.mp3
the the pattern is not highlighted in red as illegal. I haven't tried running such a pattern, just continued building it (to:
<TRASH>- <Title-1[| ]>. <Title-2[|]> [<TRASH>.mp3
), when it works just fine.
Is this a bug? If not, what is the meaning of the first pattern?
The Gadfly!

This is not a bug. Outside the <> brackets, any characters are legal, including "[". The parse engine will simply expect a "[" in the file name at this point (which may very well occur in a filename too, contrary to "<" and ">" which are illegal to have in filenames in Windows).

It isn't the free "[" that I was wondering about, it was the <Title-1[| ]> with out a matching <Title-2...> etc. I've gone back and experimented and find that I'm wrong. I was under the (mistaken) impression that you couldn't have a multi-part tag had to have more than one part, but I see I have been mistaken.
Sorry for the time and forum space.

Hehe, no problem, I'm just glad someone is brave enough to experiment with the more advanced features of Mp3/Tag Studio.

It does open a new method, to me. One thing that I have been doing in seperate steps is tagging from file names, then using mass setting to append constant strings to a resulting tag, either prefix or postfix. But now I see that I can uses something like:
<Album-1[I really like |, don't you?]>
and kill two birds with one template.
Neat!

Yep, that's one of its nice possibilities.
