You can also attach the image directly to the post, click on the "attachments" button.

Hey zybex,
I reformatted the images again. Are you able to view them now?

--- Code: ---[Album Artist]//If(IsEmpty([Year],1),,[Year] -) [Album] If(IsEmpty([Catalog #,0]),,/([Catalog #]/))
--- End code ---
Ram Jam\1978 - Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Ram (EPIC - EPC 82628)
and if there is no catalog
Ram Jam\1978 - Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Ram
Above is following the folder format like below. Is this structure you are after?
[Album Artist]/[Year] - [Album] ([Catalog])\[Filename (name)]
[Album Artist]/[Year] - [Album]

Hey Lepa,
Yes these are the structures I’m after:
--- Quote --- [Album Artist]/[Year] - [Album] ([Catalog])\[Filename (name)]
[Album Artist]/[Year] - [Album]
--- End quote ---
I’m on Mac OS. I have “Replaces slashes in expressions” checked. I copied and pasted your newest Rules into the Directory field and the folder structure that I got back was: [Album Artist]/[Year] - [Album]/([Catalog #]/)\[Filename (name)]. Note the slash splitting [Album] and [Catalog #] and note the slash inside of the parentheses that [Catalog #] is in: ([Catalog #]/). It's creating three separate folders for [Album], [Catalog #], and the closing parenthesis symbol instead of just creating one folder.

Nevermind, it was my corporate firewall blocking them - I was on the company VPN ::)
zybex:
Sorry for the silly question, but are you pasting the expression as is or are you replacing the forward-slashes with backslashes?
What MC version do you have?
Try without the "replace slashes" option. MC shows you what it will do to each filename, so you don't actually need to run the Rename do see the results.

I'm also working ::)

EDIT: no need to lose Mac but just that replace check :D
REF:

"If you are intentionally using a calculated field to create directory structures in your Directories Template, you can uncheck the Replace slashes in expressions option to pass through any slashes found in an expression or field as-is. "
