Long filenames, masks, files invisible to Win Explorer

[nickeaston]

I can’t be the only SK user with hundreds or thousands of tunes held hostage by Windows long filename limitations. In most cases it seems like it happens because of the folders, furnished by MB, and written to the SK Move Folder, apparently determined by a mask; in some cases, especially classical tunes, the file less the folder tree is itself too long.

When I open the Move Folder with FileBoss, I see mp3 files held hostage (by Windows Explorer) in folder trees, and also I see .bak and .lnk files… What generated THESE files?

SongKong doesn’t create the .bak or .lnk files

I added some filename masks in SongKong 1.10 that contain no folders but you wont get them unless you empty your data folder as I explained in the release notes, but Ill post the mask here if it helps

ifnotempty2(albumartist,artist,' - ')
+ ifnotempty(album,' - ')
+ ifmultidisc(ifnotempty(pad(discno,2),' - '))
+ ifnotempty(pad(track,2),' - ')
+ title

other than that Im not sure what you are asking me to do.
