Problem with Rename, Move and Copy Files

<< < (2/5) > >>

FKatz:
I don't have spaces at the end. What else can this problem be?

Matt:
Just use [Name].  Does that have a space?  If not, add more until you find the space.  Then let us know.  Thanks.

There are no added spaces in the file name. This problem only just started occurring, or should I say I only just noticed it, and I've been using JRiver for about 10 years. I certainly don't intend to pay for an upgrade to solve a problem which shouldn't exist.

Let's not be pointing any fingers until we find out what it is.  I've never seen this problem or heard of it, and MC27 is pretty stable, so what could be different? 

Has anything changed recently?

External drive N.  Please be specific.

And is E an internal drive?

FKatz:
Since the first item in the file name is artist, I cut out all the other items
I put in [Artist] and end up with [Artist]  .flac
I also tried adding to the string and put [Bit Depth] after [Track #] and get [Bit Depth]  .flac
The program wants to add those two spaces whatever I do.
Interestingly, if I move to one directory and then move from that directory to another I would have though that I would have ended up with four spaces but I only end up with two.

FKatz:
"External drive N.  Please be specific."
I'm not sure what you mean by be specific - N: is a Western Digital My Book 4TB external drive. I've been using this for years as a temporary home for my music files and done hundreds of transfers (maybe thousands) without this happening.

"And is E an internal drive?" E: is a partition on my computer's main hard drive - again, the same drive I have used for several years.

The only thing that I can think of that has changed is that there has been a new update to Windows 10 and I know that sometimes things get quirky when that happens. The last time I did a transfer was a couple of weeks ago before the Windows 10 update. I don't know if it occurred then or not since I wasn't paying attention.

The reason I noticed this is that I did a purge of duplicates from my main music directory E:\Music and decided to reorganize to make sure that all the files were where they should be. I expected that when I did the replace and rename procedure it would find a few files that I may have relocated by other means but was surprised that it seemed to want to perform the procedure on all the files (about 85,000) - once it completed this, I looked more closely which is when I realized that those 85,000 files had two spaces after the track number. I then used a file manager to remove all those extra spaces but I really don't want to have to do that on a regular basis so I'm hoping that someone can come up with a resolution to this.
