Took another look at your last screenshot, you using title in the sub folder mask, this is the songtitle not the album name so every song is going to go in a different folder !
Folder renaming
so…
the original folder containing the 4 cds has not been changed and the 4 cds are now moved out of that folder.Is there a way of correcting the named folder and keeping the 4cds within this folder
Thanks…
showing what you asked
You can use Action:File and Folder Correct:Shift Base Folder to SubFolder and Shift SubFolder to baseFolder to move paths components from/to BaseFolder/SubFolder and the only the part in the SubFolder field is modified by the mask, does that help ?
just found this problem:
that is the original folder/sub folders
it has changed too:
:oops:
so for some reason when changing this release
correctmetadata:from filename its moving them from a 3 cd release to one cd
sorry to be a pain but I need to know ive got this correct before hitiing my library and doing it on mass.
I ran a folder and file correct on a single release which worked fine
Its because in your mask you havent specified that you want the disc (cd) to be part of the foldername, the usual way to do it would be add the discno but only if it was a multidisc release, you could add something like this to the mask
+ (disctotal>1 ? discno : '')
Alternatively when matching to MusicBrainz/Discogs if you set Preferences:Remote Correct:Format:MultiDiscReleases to Aways Add disc No to Release title the release title will be different for different discs.
To apply this change to already matched releases use Update Metadata from MusicBrainz and Update Metadata from Discogs
much appreciated again…
I just started moving over some folders none multi release or various artists …When I hit save and move it asked what directory vol1/muzika it moved the files and they disappeared.I tried it again and the same thing…
Could we turn this thread into help a n00b learn Jaikoz the right way…
Id prefer to keep to one topic per problem its better for everyone else.
Bur wrt Save and Move you mean they disappear from the Jaikoz display, yes moved files are closed because they are no longer in the folder you opened in Jaikoz, and if you save and move them that normally means you have finished processing them
some reason the folder they are saved to they are not in
save and move if matched from volume_1//_CHK to volume_1//muZika is there a problem doing a move/copy on the same drive…???
Jaikoz has changed the base folder
but as you can see there is no data in their
and the directory I added the folders too
are left with all the folders empty of files
is the issue moving to a directory on the same hdd.??
there in the etha somewhere …!!!
oh well uninstalled it completely messed everything up
so ive just read through all this…I think if I make it clearer it may help and start again
rename folder from metadata:
rename mask : Artist Album
compilation mask: VA Album Year
rename file from metadata :
rename mask : trackno songtitle
compilation mask : trackno artist title
thanks once again…(patience is the virtue)
im using rename from folder :
rename mask :
function ifnotempty(value,sep){
return value.length > 0 ? value + sep : ‘’;
}
function ifnotempty2(value1,value2,sep){
return value1.length > 0 ? value1 + sep :value2.length > 0 ? value2 + sep:’’ ;
}
ifnotempty2(albumartist,artist,’ ‘) + ifnotempty(album,’ ') + (disctotal>1 ? discno + folderseparator : ‘’)
compilation mask :
function ifnotempty(value,sep){
return value.length > 0 ? value + sep : ‘’;
}
function ifnotempty2(value1,value2,sep){
return value1.length > 0 ? value1 + sep :value2.length > 0 ? value2 + sep:’’ ;
}
ifnotempty2(albumartist,artist,’ ‘) + ifnotempty(album,’ ‘) + (disctotal>1 ? discno + folderseparator : ‘’) + ’ -’ + year
does this allow for multi disc releases…??? as its making multi disc releases all single folders/files
I am going to go over the online help
That looks okay to me, so okay try it and if it doesn’t seem to work please do the following.
Ensure BaseFolder, SubFolder and Filename columns are visible, and copy & paste the three values together from the ViewPane to show the original filename and then the EditPane to show the filename Jaikoz has changed it to and paste in this forum.
No need to save anything, the whole point of jaikoz is you can see what it is going to do before you save the changes.
No need to post massive screenshots of your filesystem, everything we need is in Jaikoz.
Hi
after running auto corrector and correct subfolders and correct filename
I get
\\CLOUD-2330\Volume_1\NEW\t[FLAC]Cafe Del Mar - Dreams (2000-2012)\Cafe Del Mar - Dreams 4 2CD (2006)\Cafe Del Mar - Dreams 4 CD2\t09. Rue Du Soleil - In My Heart.flac\t
to
\\CLOUD-2330\Volume_1\NEW\tVarious Artists Caf� del Mar Dreams 4 2\ -2006\t 09 - Various Artists - In My Heart.flac\t
the only problem is the artist on the filename has been changed from artist to various…so dropping albumartist corrects this but when using this syntax
ifnotempty(pad(trackno,2),’ - ') + ifnotempty2(artist, ’ - ’ ) + title
I cant get ’ - ’ between artist and title
also when saving changes it moves the subfolders out of the folder

would changing albumartist,artist to artist in the syntax correct this…??

Yes, that gives track artist
This is open to interpretation, please clarify what you mean, give me the full path of what you want it to look like.

I want the original artist which this does but I cant get a - between artist and song
The fullpath request was about the subfolder problem but i cant see any difference between the filepath you posted and the filepath you posted as wrong in the previous post
The ‘-’ problem is you are using ifempty2 and because you are missing a bracket it should be:
ifnotempty(pad(trackno,2),' - ') + ifnotempty(artist, '-') + title
thanks for the syntax just couldn’t get that right all now seems present and correct
so next issue is :
Filename\t09 - Hall & Oates - I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) (The Ben Liebrand Remix).flac\t
09 - Hall & Oates - I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do) (Ben Liebrand remix).flac
Sub Folder\tCD1 to Various Artists Hard to Find Classic & Rare Remixes 1\ -2011
the cd sub folder is being changed from CD1 to album title
and when saved gives me a subfolder off \2011 
also when saving changes it moves the subfolders out of the folder
so to stop jaikoz from moving the subfolders out of the basefolder on multi a release would I achieve this by shifting base folder to subfolder or subfolder to base folder…???
my concern would be when adding a lot of files it would mean checking all releases before saving

Sub Folder\tCD1 to Various Artists Hard to Find Classic & Rare Remixes 1\ -2011
the cd sub folder is being changed from CD1 to album title
and when saved gives me a subfolder off \2011 [/quote]
I’m sorry I can’t understand this, can you not manage to provide me with the whole of the existing filepath, what it is changed to and what you want it changed to ?
I just require three lines, sorry to be terse but this should be a dead simple question to ask I can’t believe this thread has got so long.
so when running folder correct the sub folder is being changed from CD1 to album title and im unsure as why this is or how to prevent it
thanks again
