Bug #41160 for MP3-Tag: audio_rename - Slashes in tags used literally in filenames

System: Linux If a tag has slashes in it, when the filename is constructed, the slash is included, leading to strange directory structures. For example, Artist: AC/DC Album: Back in Black Track: You Shook Me All Light Long %a/%l/%a - %t AC/DC/Back in Black/AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long AC +DC +Back in Black +AC +DC - You Shook Me All Night Long Since the components of the filename are dealt with on a piece-by-piece basis, the trivial fix is to replace the slashes with another character. This should probably *not* be part of the "Converting exotic characters" routine but should likely be a separate option, perhaps with a generic "replace these characters with those characters" fully specifiable tr() type option

Thanks, I fought with slashes in %n, but forgot about other fields... ;-) Show quoted text

Why? Thanks, Ilya

I remember now why this is not fixed yet. E.g., in some of my files, I have %{TXXX[orig-fname]} which may be something like disk-NAME/sound/album_NAME/orig-NAME.mp3 and I may want to rename to this name. So this boils down to one wanting %t %l %a be /-protected, but some other tags not. I have no idea how to better implement this in a lest confusing way. Do you have any idea? Please report... Thanks, Ilya
