    Batch Converter not honoring [IFMULTI] -- Always evaluting [IF!MULTI] as true.

    The processing of the Programmable Action pair [IFMULTI] and [IF!MULTI] is failing in Batch Converter (but works in CD Ripper).

    First, without ticking the Multi-Disc box, the correct output is shown as 'XXX not compilation'

    However, upon ticking the Multi-Disc box, the Example output does not change -- error.

    To demonstrate a working Programmable Action, here is what happens with [IFCOMP] and [IF!COMP]:

    The Example output is correct.

    Please investigate why [MULTI] and [IF!MULTI] are not evaluating correctly in Batch Converter -- it's acting like [IF!MULTI] is ALWAYS true and [IFMULTI] is NEVER true.

    Trying some alternate paths to see if I can pin-point where the error is happening.

    Switched to the bare Music Converter and a clean Dynamic Naming setup. And this worked properly.

    With ticked Multi-Disc -- working

    Also verified that returning to Batch Converter and creating a new Profile, this same test worked.

    So ... something about my (old) Dynamic Naming Profile must be at fault.

    If anyone from illustrate would like to investigate what's stored in my saved Profile, I'm happy to send you the saved settings file.
