+---Topic: Option to automatically Remove Spaces from Dashes started by bothersome

An option to automatically remove spaces from around dashes when autotagging from filename would save having to go to custom mode just to remove some spaces when the filenames are named <artist>-<track>-<title> or something similar.

Couldn't you set up one or more presets to do this for you? Do the Advanced mode thing once, then click the + symbol to the right of the "Expected file name format" text field. Now it's a preset you can select from the dropdown. Please explain further if I did not answer your question.

There already is such a feature implemented ("Trim leading/trailing spaces" in the case-fix utility), but I recommend using exact templates as much as possible anyway, to prevent mistakes. If you save your most common templates in the drop-down boxes, just like Disposable Hero suggests, it will be very fast and easy to switch to the correct template anyway.

I could do this except I'd have to add one for each and every possible combination for both with a space dash space and with just a dash. Also this would mean one extra mouse movement in each operation.

Ok, just use the feature mentioned above then.
PS.
I think you should fire the guy who names your mp3:s originally.
