Auto-Filer? (Similar to Autocorrect)

[dkoh]

I use Jaikoz for almost everything, but I still use Tag&Rename to rename files and create playlists. This is usually done quickly while Jaikoz is auto-ing a large pile of something else.

I would like an Auto-File button. It would have a similar list of entries to process as Autocorrector, except there would be fields like “Folder = ‘Artist’” and “Subfolder = ‘Album’”. Creating playlists would be another plus, and I like how T&R uses the % filters (%2 is artist). My playlists are named “- album name -.m3u” so that it’s always at the top of the filelist. I know there’s a billion structures out there, but mine is as follows:

D:\

• Artist
  – Album
  — - Playlist -.m3u
  — Track a.mp3
  — Track b.mp3

The Auto-file button would be hit after the Autocorrect is finished, and I guess could potentially be part of the Autocorrect routine (for the brave?).

…just a thought.

AutoCorrecter does contain the following tasks

Correct Filename from Metadata
Correct Subfolder from Metadata
Save and Move
Save and Move if Matched

so I think except for playlist creation you can already do what you want, or am I missing something ?

I was unaware of these. Yes, that’s perfect.

These not so much. There’s usually a mistake or a feat. artist somewhere and folders can get really out of hand quickly. These would be best saved for last when everything’s polished.

What does “if Matched” mean?

So yeah, there’s not much need for this button anymore.
