Then, I have up to 4 AHK variables: originalpath (incl. with some sub string from any cell, and a fourth one with some other sub string. Similarly, I can copy any combination of cells from any given column into clipboard, from there into an AHK array, and I also can fill a third AHK variable, e.g. In AudioRanger (AR), any column / cell / cell combination within any given column is copyable in-line (then multi-line in clipboard in case, so fullpath is immediately identifyable by copying 1 cell, then I put it in AHK variable. In Tag&Rename (30$ plus VAT, but that's certainly not the problem here), it's similar: file name available from in-line editing (possible for the file name only), and just some PART of the folder name from the main window's caption (in brackets in there, but, as said, only a part of it). Albeit that "preview" line then opens in my external text editor, is NOT visible within Mp3tag for me, so in the end, I don't know how that would really work either (except then getting the path from the external editor: way over the top.). It seems that in theory at least, LyricsLover's solution is the ONLY ONE. I meant the solution to get the full path of a single selected file, combinable in several parts or in whole, but without getting bonkers in-between. Thank you very much, LyricsLover - very kind help indeed! -, and MotleyG - not optimally worded, but got me onto the right track! This would NOT only avoid awful opening and closing of the dialog, but also avoid going by the clipboard, and would thus be as speedy as it gets, in a word: professional. (Edit15 being an example and s being the output variable in AutoHotkey for further processing in there). *=Even simpler than a menu command: Allow for adding those columns to the Tag Panel ("File - Options - Tag Panel - Add"), where the user could then either select the panel field, then copy, or do it similar to my script in my first post, e.g. without having to open any file manager.Īnd thank you very much, LyricsLover, for your additional post, for the additional info even though for the above solution, it was not needed anymore. This at least enables me to work onto the file system from within Mp3tag, with a LOT of CLUTTER (and unneeded time spent, since opening and closing the dialog needs "waits", and then do the file system commands from inside the macro, i.e. Thus, my macro opens the Alt-t-dialog, retrieves its caption, then works on the string, puts the part(s) I want into variables, closes the dialog. Thus, the creation of the column with value %_path% got me the path as caption for the Alt-t dialog. just the file name part before, its caption was "Extended Tags" or something like that, NO path parth then!) after half-way creating a new column "_" (since getting aware a column with value %_folderpath% was already there by default, so no need to create it a second time), then abandoning it,ī) and I got the caption displaying "path indeed" (and not only the file name part of it as in a) after creating the column %_path%. (In order to better identify the bug in the code:Ī) I got the caption displaying "path without path part" (i.e. file name), the caption of the Alt-T dialog has LOST its previous name BUT displays the fullpath (among other things, exactly as in LyricLover's screenshot (2).įrom that caption, I can now retrieve all the necessary info by Autohotkey some Mp3tag command "File - Fullpath to clipboard" would have been so much less convoluted though since it would have avoided the necessity to open, then close the Alt-t dialog again, EVERY time you need the path info.*īut then: Who would have thought that adding %_fullpath" (which just adds the FILENAME info to the path) would change the caption of the Alt-t dialog, from its constant NAME, to fullpath? after creation of the fullpath column, incl. Just for the fun of it, I also created the column "Fullpath" (the column "Path", with value %_folderpath% is default anyway), with value %_path%.īefore, the caption of my (sic!) dialog Alt-T was named differently (see above), then it got renamed to some "path", but without (sic!) the path part, and now (i.e. PROBLEM RESOLVED by MotleyG, in combination with LyricLover's screenshot:
