I would like picard to move the tagged files to a new folder on the same level as "music", but named "artist - year - album"
2007-12-01 33506, 2007
14:25 PM
nikki
then you need something like /home/you/music/%artist%... or C:\your\music\%artist%... or something appropriate for whatever OS you use

hmm... try "../%artist% - %year% - %album%" then
2007-12-01 33511, 2007

ok, just a sec...
2007-12-01 33541, 2007

2007-12-01 33534, 2007

2007-12-01 33540, 2007

and give ".." as the directory
2007-12-01 33549, 2007

MClemo
works for me on one box
2007-12-01 33505, 2007

if I got this right
2007-12-01 33508, 2007
14:36 PM

that would just put the files two levels up...
2007-12-01 33508, 2007
14:36 PM
MClemo
get the directories created in that "music" directory?
2007-12-01 33522, 2007

or above it
2007-12-01 33542, 2007

but the problem is that when i click on "Preview", I just get %artist%... in the preview

I thought this is what you wanted. One or two levels up the "music" directory (relatively)
2007-12-01 33555, 2007
14:36 PM
nikki tests...
2007-12-01 33531, 2007
14:37 PM
nikki
ahh, you need ../ in the "move files to this directory" bit then the %artist% etc stuff in the "rename files" bit
2007-12-01 33509, 2007
14:38 PM
MClemo
I got .. and it works :P
2007-12-01 33518, 2007
14:38 PM
pae
ok, it looks promising...
2007-12-01 33527, 2007
14:38 PM

.., ../ they're the same thing :P

yes :)
2007-12-01 33504, 2007

14:40 PM
MClemo
I got that url memorized of course ;)
2007-12-01 33546, 2007
14:41 PM
nikki
it doesn't support not renaming the files but still moving them to folders?
2007-12-01 33530, 2007
14:43 PM
MClemo
if you uncheck "rename files" and check "move files" that should work
2007-12-01 33559, 2007
14:43 PM
nikki
no, because %artist% etc aren't supported by the move files bit
2007-12-01 33503, 2007
14:44 PM
nikki
only rename files bit
2007-12-01 33515, 2007
14:44 PM

ok, it works...

now I can spend the rest of my weekend organising my *cough*legal*cough* music collection :)
2007-12-01 33521, 2007
14:45 PM
nikki
so it doesn't seem to let me do, for example, "../%artist/%originalfilename%"
2007-12-01 33556, 2007
14:45 PM
MClemo
yeah, for that you have to use a combination of rename and move
2007-12-01 33517, 2007
14:46 PM
MClemo
.. to move and %artist/%originalfilename% in rename
2007-12-01 33519, 2007
14:46 PM
nikki
but there doesn't seem to be an %originalfilename% thingy
2007-12-01 33526, 2007
14:46 PM
MClemo
oh
2007-12-01 33544, 2007
14:46 PM
pae
why would you want to use the original filename?
2007-12-01 33504, 2007
14:47 PM
nikki
because some of my filenames are beautifully transliterated and I don't want things messing them up :P
2007-12-01 33514, 2007
14:47 PM
pae
aww :)
2007-12-01 33526, 2007

nikki: I have ________ _____-__________!/01 - _________ - ____ ______.mp3 (a pretty example) for those ;)
2007-12-01 33511, 2007
14:49 PM
nikki
that would be helpful for chinese... they seem to be awfully fond of two character titles
2007-12-01 33527, 2007
14:49 PM
nikki
so you'd get 01 - __.mp3, 02 - __.mp3, 03 - __.mp3, etc
2007-12-01 33533, 2007
14:59 PM

I can see %originalfilename% being useful

given an artist that has more variants of "spelling" both his first and second name, should i add 3 aliases with the combination of all of them?
2007-12-01 33509, 2007
15:40 PM
nikki
I don't think it matters which alias the name is in when the search is looking for it
2007-12-01 33545, 2007
15:40 PM
nikki
i.e. as far as I know, the forename from one alias and the surname from another alias would still work
