+---Topic: Moving files to new folder, one folder current started by Sebastian


Posted by: Sebastian on June 09 2006,02:46

My current folder naming scheme is:

Artist - Year - Album

I would like to change this to:

Artist<\>Year - Album

The problem is, I want to do this while simultaneously creating the new directory above the current. For example, I would like to turn the following...

C:\Beatles - 1966 - Revolver\01 - Taxman.mp3

...into this:

C:\Beatles<\>1966 - Revolver\01 - Taxman.mp3

...as opposed to this:

C:\Beatles - 1966 - Revolver<\>Beatles<\>1966 - Revolver\01 - Taxman.mp3

Is this "directory jump" move possible?

Thank you!!!

Sure, simply use the absolute path mode, like this (advanced mode template) in the auto rename tool:

c:\<Artist><\><Year> - <Album><\><TrackNr> - <Title>.mp3

The trick is to have the first backslash not enclosed by the <>-brackets, this is what activates absolute path mode.

For a longer path, you'd still just have the first backslash non-enclosed, like e.g. this:

c:\some<\>other<\>folder<\><Artist><\><Year> - <Album><\><TrackNr> - <Title>.mp3
end
