    [trimfirstfolder] - how about "TrimFirstTwoFolders" ?...

    Newbie question - couldn't find an answer in the Forum, so apologies if I'm being dumb here.

    My FLAC music is stored in an elaborate subdirectory tree (nearly 18,000 tracks) under M:\MUSIC\FLAC\.... I wish to use dB to create a matching Apple Lossless subdirectory tree called M:\MUSIC\APPLE\.... Can I do that? It seems to me that I would need to "trim the first TWO folders", no?

    I recall that you can just but it in twice to do what you want, but I'm away from my machine to test. that is something like:
    [trimfirstfolder][trimfirstfolder][origpath]\[origfilename][]

      Yes, I did actually try that, but the output directory structure I got was M:\MUSIC\APPLE\[trimfirstfolder]FLAC\.... or something very similar. It might be a syntax thing (and I tried various alternatives unsuccessfully) but in any case I got nowhere.
