Bath Converter - path question

[chrisjj]

Ho can I convert from S:\WMA\various\various\various.WMA to S:\MP3\various\various\various.WMA ?

I cannot see any Dynamic variables that do this. Thanks.

Use MP3\[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath][]

Thanks! Is there anyway to get a preview of the effect i.e. before conversion?

No I need to convert from

S:\WMA\ignore1\ignore2\...\ignoreN\various\various \various.WMA

to

S:\MP3\various\various\various.WMA

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: Bath Converter - path question

You can use

[trimfirst][trimfirst][trimfirst][origpath][][][]\[origfilename]

Ans set the output folder to S:\mp3

Sorry to be unclear - by

\ignore1\ignore2\...\ignoreN\

I meant a variable number of folder levels.

So

[trimfirst][trimfirst][trimfirst][origpath][][][]\[origfilename]

doesn't solve it.

Can you create a folder out of a tag item?, such as

[artist]\[album]\[origfilename]

Yes I can - in that it works... but I don't see how that solves my problem,

BTW, [trimfirst] is unreconised. [trimfirstfolder] is recognised. But my attempt to make a fixed-level workaround using it fails - I get chopped pathnames... making me think there is a nasty string limit in the dB code.

There is a file system limit of 260 characters for the whole path

OK, but I think an alert is in order - silently chopping paths is not nice.
