Should I report this somewhere or is this thread sufficient?

I can confirm that the field after <Type> doesn't work. It similar when using <Parental Rating> in Auto-Tag from Filename: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8112

Flying Lowlander,
I did some more tests. My initial wording is incorrect. The problem is not specifically with <Genre>, and it's not limited to video.
As soon as I include <Type> in the mask, the behavior of auto-organize becomes strange.

Could you try that?

Just checked and used Auto-Organize on a video and the Genre was added as expected to the filename.

So exact steps for reproduction are:

1. Select some video files
2. Tools > Auto-organize
3. Paste v:\Video\<Genre>\<Series>\<Title> (or any path with <Genre> )
4. Ok
5. Files are moved to v:\Video\Genre\Star Trek

?

Because I've just tried on my HD and can't reproduce. The genre fields for me are empty and the files are moved to an "Unknown" genre folder.

Not sure which details you mean...

I have a number of .avi files, genre is SF and series is Star Trek, and I try to auto organize them in the folder v:\Video\<Genre>\<Series>\<Title>.
MM puts the files in v:\Video\Genre\Star Trek
So the series is correct, but the genre isn't.

The genre is really SF, because if I look at the subodes under genre, the files are indeed there.

I'm running MM 1432, on Windows XP.

I just tried it, and it works fine here. Can you give more detail to repro the issue?

When I auto-organize video files, MM doesn't pick up all field content.
For example: it does pick <type>, but it doesn't pick <genre>.
Instead of putting the genre in the path, it puts the word genre there.
