In short: any ideas how to change only directories names (basing on tags) without changing filenames?
e.g. in file naming parameter strings:
$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/%catalognumber% - %album%/ "here original filename"
-Thanks in advance
Selecting "move file" and deselecting "rename files" in the options menu should work. Not sure tho never tried...
I think this is currently not possible. The "rename files" option controls both the naming of the the itself and the creation of the sub directories based on the tags. If you just enable the "move files" option it will just copy the file to the selected folder without creating sub directories.
so "rename files" is actually "rename and/or move" and "move files" is just "copy" option in new Picard?
maybe instead of hardcoding, we should have move/copy/rename plugin.
I think that everything will work with syntax %filename_ext% (like in Foobar) but probably there is nothing like that in Picard, right?
example:
$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/%catalognumber% - %album%/$set(name,%filename_ext%)$get(name)
so "rename files" is actually "rename and/or move" and "move files" is just "copy" option in new Picard?

Well no, because moving a file is different to copying it.
In any case, the options were restructured in Picard 1.0 and it's pretty clear now that that won't work - the syntax is greyed out if you untick "rename files".

I was talking about the options in main menu. I don't see any greyed out option there, in any condition.
Maybe adding a vraiable %_filename% (similar to %_extension%) would be a good idea for the future.

I thought we already had such a ticket but http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/PICARD-278 anyway
For some reason that ticket doesn't appear in the changelog but Picard 1.1 provides %_dirname%, %_filename% (which does not include the extension) and %_extension%.
