Music not put in folders for each album about xld HOT 17 CLOSED

Cannot confirm. Is "Format of filename" option correctly configured to create 
an album/artist folder?

The format file name is left at default.
I have changed nothing, this only started happening since the last update.
Example:
What SHOULD be happening: music folder>Eddie Money>Greatest Hits>songs
What IS happening now: music folder>songs

With the default setting XLD should not create any folders. You can get the old 
version from http://code.google.com/p/xld/downloads/list and check the behavior.

Hi,
If I want to continue to use the new version, what is the proper format or
syntax that I should use to have XLD create folders like I'm expecting?

Well, this place is a bug tracker, so we must confirm if the report is a valid 
or invalid. If you argue that it is a valid report, please prove it at first.

The behavior has not been changed in the new version.

I am having the same issue (this is my only issue). I am running the most up to 
date versions of XLD and and Lion. I have set a desktop folder in which to 
place by ripped albums prior to moving them to my NAS server. I cannot get an 
album folder to appear in desktop folder, just the individual songs appear with 
all the information I require.I have tried both default and custom settings to 
try and get around this. For information I have custom "format for filename" 
set to %A %T %n - %t but no sure if this has any relevance to this issue.

I now create an album folder in my desktop folder, for each album I rip, 
specify this in my XLD output directory preference. Each song downloads to this 
directory.

I move my album folder containing the songs into my NAS server. All the album 
content and information sits in my server as I want it.

It would help if I did not have to set up a separate album folder for each rip 
and direct the XLD output directory preference to my album folder. Please offer 
any advice.

"%A %T %n - %t" does not create any folder. "%A/%T/%n - %t" should do.

Thank you.

It worked.

I don't think this is an invalid issue. I tried to do the same and failed.
Neither the above reported "%A/%T/%n - %t" nor my preferred "%T/n% - %t" works. 
After switching to the "General" tab and back to "File naming" XLD always 
selects "default"

Sorry for got to list the versions I tested:
- the brandnew 2013/4/7
- 2013/1/27
OSX 10.6.8 

The problem really seems to be the data handling when switching between tabs. 
Its not the custom filename feature itself. I got it to work, but its brittle. 
Stepping through the tabs activates the default file handling again.

I have been having the same issue of an album folder not being created within 
the Artist folder despite multiple attempts.  I am using the latest XLD version 
148.1.  See the attached screenshot showing the naming convention and the 
output file structure. 

I am not experiencing Hartmut's problem of the settings not sticking -- so far 
as I know.  The reason I say "so far as I know"  is that there's no visual cue, 
so far as I am aware, that the Profile I've selected under the Profile tab is 
actually the one that's being used by XLD.  If it's not, then I think the 
output would be reflecting the default rather than the "custom"  I set up.

Hmm? %A/%T %n - %t does not create an album folder (no slash between %T and %n).
%A/%T/%n - %t should do.

@tmkkmac.  Thank you!  You are a god.  I am an idiot.  I obviously wasn't 
reading the syntax correctly.  Worked.  I'm a happy man!

Thanks, 
%A/%T %n - %t seems to work. 

@16 traudi.  Not, apparently for me.  Adding the "/" between %T and %n did 
though.
