I noticed in the Folder Correct -> Folder Naming there is an option to Replace 'From Character with 'To" Character.
One of the things I want to add in there is to change the ‘/’ and ‘\’ to be ‘-’. That way instead of having jaikoz just drop the / and \ from a file name it would change them to a -. So for an example, AC/DC would become AC-DC instead of just ACDC. Or a split track like “track one/track two”, would become “track one-track two”, instead of “track onetrack two” when it is saved and renamed to the filesystem.
I was able to make those changes in the preferences, but here is where my problem lies. I have another setting, File and Folder Correct -> Rename Folder from Metadata. In there I am able to set my Rename mask. I use the %folderseperator% to break down the files being saved into sub folders. Unfortunately the character replacer sees %folderseperator% as either part of the file name or folder name, and tries to then change the file path with the character replacer. Changing something like c:\music\artist to c:-music-artist.
Is there any way to have jaikoz recognize %folderseperator% as a dedicated folder separator command and not try to change it? The replacer can be useful to making sure that characters that are not supported by the OS’s file system can be replaced by something else, instead of just being dropped, but would be nice if it did not try to change set Mask values as well.
Thanks.
