    Need help with naming and profiles

    I've recently started using dbpoweramp on Mac to batch convert my flac files. I'm currently using this naming shceme
    Code:
    [GRAB]1,99,[if][album artist],len<,2,,[album artist][][] - [grab]1,99,[ALBUM][] ([SETLEN]4,0,0,[Year][]) [FLAC 16/48] [REPLACE]:,,[TIME][]/[IFMULTI]/[]Disc [SETLEN]1,48,,[disc][]/[track]. [title][IFCOMP] ([ARTIST])[]
    which puts multidisc albums into separate subfolders. My only problem with it is that when I convert single-disc albums, it still puts the tracks in a Disc 0 subfolder. How should I alter it so that it doesn't create subfolders for albums without multiple discs?

    I also have an issue with profiles. The first profile I made had some wrong settings applied so I deleted it. However, when I close and reopen the app, the profile is back there again. Also, after creating another new profile, when I close and reopen the app, the new profile is not there and only the first profile is. I have tried reinstalling the app but that hasn't fixed the issue. Lastly, is there a way to rename profiles?

    Thanks!

      Thanks for replying! I’ll test this later on today when I’m at my computer. Would you know anything about the profiles bug as well?

        Regarding profiles-

        What you're experiencing looks like a bug. However I can't seem to be able to recreate it.

        Please open dBpoweramp configuration, diagnostics page, save configuration snapshot.
        Email the saved file to peter@dbpoweramp.com for analysis.

          Profiles bug explained-
          Profiles are stored as plaintext: ~/Library/dBpoweramp/BatchProfiles - you can manually manipulate them there.
          Removal of profiles works. However, 'last selected profile' setting becomes stuck with name of the deleted profile until you select another, and a blank profile of this name will keep coming back after reopening Batch Converter.
          Quick mitigation is: delete the profile, then re-select another profile before closing Batch Converter. Clicking "(none selected)", even though it's already selected, works too.

          Addendum:
          Accessing BatchProfiles folder via Finder results in .DS_Store file being created, which is shown as a goofy blank profile, so better just use Terminal for cleaning these up.

          Obviously all of the above is being fixed for the next update.
