Rename schemes! I'd love to see the ability to save different rename schemes.
I organize my mp3s in the following manner:
"Normal" albums are saved genre/artist/album/artist - track# - name
compilations are saved compilations/album/track# - artist - name
soundtracks are saved soundtracks/album/track# - artist - name

every time i tag a new album i have to change all three settings in the "rename files from properties" dialog. It would be really nice to have a dropdown menu to select a pre-defined renaming scheme. A very easy way to create new schemes would be to just add another button ("save as preset") for example) at the bottom of the window. on click a dialog would pop up to ask for a name for the scheme.

Here are some two pictures for illustration. The first one shows how the "rename files from properties" dialog could look like:

After clicking on the "Save Scheme" button a new window would pop up, prompting for a name for the new scheme:

I'm really curious how many other users would welcome such a feature...
it shouldn't be so hard to implement it either, right?

cheers, madpat

Oooops, the pictures were not included for some reason...
How does this [image=adress] feature in NeoBoard work?
Anyway, you have the location of the pictures and can take a look at them.

New renaming window
Save new scheme windows
(Hope i got the url tag right  )

This is a great idea and has been requested/ suggested many times before.
The development of V8 has been pretty full on, with a whole of break through stuff.
I guess little tweaks just get overlooked.
Maybe for V9.....

MadPat - As per "Posting Help" above, you use "img", not "image":
