Save Custom Formats for Renaming files & Batch tag folders

Open ghost opened this issue 10 years ago • 7 comments

Hi There

I LOVE this app, so far it's the best one I have found for the MAC thank you so much! I was wondering if you can make it possible to save a custom rename filename format so that we don't have to drag and drop the desired parts (title, artist etc) every single time into the box.

The other thing I was wondering is if we would be able to retag every subfolder contained within a parent folder, such as everything in one folder is the same genre so instead of doing each folder separately you can just do them all at once.

Thanks again!!

The first point is possible if edit the setting plist see #35. The 2nd point, is this only one level deep? e.g

 directory 
     subdirectory
         1.mp3
         2.mp3

if so this might be possible.

Hi thank you for responding!

Yes it would be that type of structure bt sometimes there are multiple foders, such as this:

Genre Artist Album 1 Album 2 etc

So each folder could potentially contain a couple levels of subfolders.

Make sense?

Is there a place to donate money for your software ?

Cheers!

First question. This is possible, but I would be reluctant to allow arbitrary nested subfolders since it could take a very long time (e.g on 4tb hard drive ), and the user could mistakenly retag all files on their hard rive for example. Maybe limiting it to three levels of subfolders would be a good compromise?

Second Question: when the Tagger app is open, click the Tagger menubar item, and there a menu option to donate using paypal.

Ahh yes that makes sense. What about just 3 levels then ? That would encompass the main folder, the artist, and each of the albums in their own folder under artist :)

Perfect thanks for the info!

The first point (custom rename filename format ) has been implemented, see https://github.com/Bilalh/Tagger/releases
