File name problem.

[blindfold]

Hi.
I have one strange problem from few vesions back up to the RC 5 Build 176.
I'm using Winamp 5.3.

The problem is that sometimes I got error of bad file rename - sorry, I won't quote it, but it is in my native language, it goes like this:
Error of renaming file or folder. Can't change name KMFDM - WWIII(1): File of the same name already exists. Please enter other file name.

Of course: "KMFDM - WWIII" is the artist/album.

The file name pattern is:
%coverfolder%\%artist% - %album%.jpg

I don't know is it my mistake or the program error. I'm using CAD all the time, so I'm always willing to help.

The right pattern is:

%coverfolder%%artist% - %album%.jpg

NOTE: there isn't the "\" between "%coverfolder%" and "%artist%"

To be honest, I think there should be a "\". Remember we had this discussion a long time ago, Carlos? In the end you decided to support both ways, I think.

Personally, I think the "\" make the path variables clearer to read.

So you have changed your opinion about it? :shock:

What is also supported is something like that:

%coverfolder\%%artist% - %album%.jpg

No Carlos, I haven't changed my opinion.

I've always thought that the correct scheme to use is this: %songfolder%\folder.jpg

I am sure, because Toaster and other programs that respect the Winamp ATF convention use it. Example entries in Toaster:
%dir%\\folder.jpg
D:\\My Pictures\\More\\CD Covers\\%artist% - %album%.jpg
D:\\My Pictures\\More\\CD Covers\\%album%.jpg

If you thought I meant it the other way around (without "\"), you must've misunderstood me. You're the one who didn't like them and ended up adding support for both methods. :)

For now I'll leave the feature as it is. :)
