Can I use file name and path to get tags

Most of my music is in the form Artist/Album/TrackNumber-Title.
Is it possible to set the Correct Tag from file name to also use the path information?
I have played around with the preferences but can not get it to work.

Thanks

Correct Tag from file name only works on the filename itself, not the folders the file is within so in your case you could only hope to extract the trackNumber and Title with the following mask:

%trackno%-%title%

OK that is what I thought.
Can I add a request for using the folder path too.
It would also be handy to have a few different patterns to match. It would be great if it could automatically deicide which to use for different files. Or alternatively have a means of selecting a pattern to use for a group of files as I go through the files manually. This would be easier than going to preferences when I have some files that are Trackno-Title and some that are Trackno Title.

Thanks

Jaikoz used to automtically decide for different files, but it is impossible to do this accurately so I chnaged to matching from a predefined format.

tags from folder names is already on the todo list (#1084)
You are right it would be useful to select the pattern as required, instead of going back to the Preferences every time, added as #1671
