    File rename in "Edit ID-Tag" shell extension dialog

    I'd love to see a way to rename one or multiple files opened in the "Edit ID-Tag" Explorer shell extension dialog, based on tags and a file naming pattern, similar to how dBpoweramp CD Ripper names files.

    I know there are many utilities from other vendors for batch tag updating and renaming, but the very useful, lightweight and handy dBpoweramp "Edit ID-Tag" shell extension remains my favorite tool for quick tag corrections.

    Only wish it could also do the renaming with just a click of a button when I've changed a tag that is also in the file name.

    Doing this may have consequences for the "Edit ID-Tag" tool when this tool is accessed as a tab in Windows Explorer's properties dialog for a file. If this tab changes the name for a file, maybe the other tabs get confused. There would be ways to work around that though; e.g. forcing the dialog to close after rename; or only making the rename button available when the "Edit ID-Tag" dialog is opened stand-alone directly from the right-click menu.

    We have the [Arrange Audio] utility codec which does as you want.

      The [Arrange Audio] utility codec is great for bulk renaming and reorganizing.

      But it's not practical for fixing a filename after fixing a tag on an individual file: It would be easier to manually rename than to start this codec.

      What I'm looking for is a way to make it a one-step operation to correct a typo in a tag and the filename, by having an option in the Tag Editor to re-sync the filename.

        I agree completely...

        ...and might well have found one! I was nosing across the web and stumbled across this little beauty:



        Hope it's of use, and Merry Christmas to all. :smile2:
