folder rename from metadata coding help

hello there,

I bought jaikoz long ago and love it so far.

The only problem i have now is that i don’t know how to properly indicate folder rename it in the version of jaikoz I use now; 4.2.1 NGS

Should I go back to a previous version or can someone tell me how to indicate to jaikoz how i want my folders to look like. I wanna have it like this:

Artist/Artist - [year] Album

thanks a lot!!!

I think

artist + folderseparator + (artist + ' - [' +year + ']') + album

should do it.

thank you so much!!! problem solved.

Although there was a space missing. this is the corrected command:
artist + folderseparator + (artist + ’ - [’ +year + '] ') + album

and fonal output sample:
U2/U2 - [1980] Boy

I want to thank you too for the code,
but I want to get it a lil bit further.
I’ve always used to have it like this:

Folder Code:
$if(%grouping%,%grouping%)%folderseperator%$if(%grouping%,%grouping%)$if(%year%, - [%year%])$if(%album%, - %album%)$if(%disctotal%, [%disctotal% Discs]%folderseperator%Disc %discno%)$if(%comments%, - %comments%)$if(%disctotal%,%folderseperator%)

Track Code:
$if(%discno%,%discno%-)$if(%tracktotal%,%tracktotal%)$if(%trackno%,%trackno% - )$if(%artist%,%artist% - )$if(%title%,%title%)

Output Sample was:
METALLICA/METALLICA - [1998] - Garage Inc. [2 Discs]/Disc 1/1-1103 - Metallica - Sabbra Cadabra

In the ‘Grouping’ field I use to put the Artist and capitalize it, rename the folder and then deleting it back again. It worked perfectly until now.
I’ve tried to translate it into a java code but there is somehow a dog burried in it. Something’s going terribly wrong.
Can someone help me? Please! With extra sugar upon!

Thanx a lot!

P.S.: Watch the pic attached for better understanding.

P.P.S.: Is there any possibility to make it somehow automatically capitalizing or formating any other field of my choice? Like not only Artist, Album or those standard fields. For example, the Composer or whatever. Or even better, a custom field. It would make a lotta things way easier and faster going. It would be cool!

I’ve used ‘Comment’ as an extra information field for albums with extra or bonus discs. The best example is Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium - Disc 1: Jupiter & Disc 2: Mars.
