Here's an example to show you what I mean:
I store my MP3 albums always in such way:
\Artist\Year Albumtitle\TrackNr - Songname.mp3 , e.g
\Tool\2001 Lateralus\01 - The Grudge.mp3
Now it would be great if I could select mp3 files, read their parent dir and write specific parts of this dirname to e.g. id3 fields using Lefteous' summary plugin via File->Attributes:
[parent:1-4] -> Summary.year ('2001')
[parent:6-] -> Summary.album ('Lateralus')
to go further, if it would be possible to parameterize the parent path, you could access any desired upper directory level (parent0, parent1,...), e.g.
[parent1] -> Summary.artist would write 'Tool' to a files 'artist'-tag
The selection of a string part is already possible (e.g. with TCs internal content plugin: [=tc.Name:6-]), so writing trackNr and filename to the according id3 fields is already possible, but I miss the described possibility to somehow access specific parts of a file's path in that way. The plugin I'm looking for does not to have write support, I just want to read the path info.
If no such plugin is available yet, maybe someone with the necessary skills is willing to provide a plugin with such feature...
The other way round (writing tag info to filename) is already possible with the MultiRenameTool. If the described functionality would be available, this would certainly allow me to uninstall my so-far used ID3 tagger. This would be perhaps the 8th or 9th external tool that TC has replaced on my system.
