Title: Autotag images album name to folder in stead of date
Post by: connersw on September 10, 2013, 12:53:01 pm

I found this old question dating back to MC 16, but it was never answered.  Is it possible?

Anyone know of some trick to autotag images album name equal of folder name upon import, in stead of using the date as it is by default? Kinda annoying to rename all the time... :-)

I suppose an alternative is to use an expression to display current folder in stead of album, but would just like to check if anyone knew.

Set an auto-import rule for Name to:

   ifelse(isequal([Media Type], Image), FileFolder(,0))

Or maybe you want Album.  I can't tell from your post, but either way, I'm sure you get the idea.

FileFolder(,0)

Well that beats my removecharacters(removeleft([Filename (path)],17),\,2)

;D

Yes, Album, not Name.  I just quoted the question from the original post, but I probably should have worded it better.

Regardless, I got what you meant, and it worked perfectly.  Thank you for the help.

You're not alone.
LOL Yeah Mr C keeps making me realise just how horrific looking my scripts are but I'm hesitant to changing my bloated ones now in case I break something else.

I should start refactoring soon.
