Hello, I want to rename my images according to the (sub)playlists they are part of.
Is there a way to do this and if yes, how.
If images are part of multiple playlists, the first (sub)lists found are fine.
for example: if an image is part of persons/jim then it should be renamed to drive:\persons\jim\imagefilename

No. A playlist is, in effect, an index to a set of files. There's no direct link from the file record back to the playlist. But you shouldn't using playlists to organize files. That's what tags are for. I suggest you use your existing playlists to tag the files properly. For example, select the persons/jim list, and record "jim" in the People field or persons\jim in the Keywords field. You will then be able to use Rename, Move & Copy Files using those values. And a multitude of other cool things. ;)

This is not an option. It would take too much time to change the keys etc when moving to other playlists.
I have a lot of pictures and my system is based on (in the current software I use) albums and groups. Many pictures are part of multiple albums/groups and this would become very confusing and prone to errors.
I hoped to use MC to manage my photo's but now this can't be done this way I stay with media jukebox and keep for the time being my current program for the pictures.
BTW for audio I like it very much.

Tagging files with multiple values in multiple categories is exactly what the program is designed to do. ?
