Background Auto-Organize Fails with relative paths [#5657]

I've also selected all tracks, and have them organised. But still: the node unsorted tracks shows all tracks.
Running 1247, I still have the same problem:

All files are organized correctly with the option from the context-menu "Auto-organize files" with the following mask:
<Album Artist> - <Album> - <Track#:2> - <Title>

I copied & pasted the same pattern to the "Auto-organize rules" (>Options>Auto-Organize).The resulting pattern is:
.\<Album Artist> - <Album> - <Track#:2> - <Title>
.. which seems correct?

Auto-organize is not activated, but as far as I remember from older versions, the "Unorganized tracks"-node is expected to show only filename/path-patterns that differ from the defined rule?
But so far it shows all tracks in the library, regardless of the actual patterns.
It seems not to be related to #5615

Just a suggestion, but maybe try a static mask instead of relative, and see what it does. Meaning to put a full path, like "C:\My Music\..." (replacing ... with the rest of your destination/mask) for instance. It may not be ideal for your set-up, but it might help pin-point the problem. Maybe the node is having problems with Relative Masks for instance.

It's the relative path. You were right.
Using static paths makes the problem disappear.
Looks like auto-organize feature in the options and manual auto-organize from the menu handle the path syntax differently?

Maybe I should open a separate bug-report for this?
Can anyone confirm this?

Best regards

This is why I said that there seems to be more to it than just the case issue. Apart from the case issue, it does definitely not always behave as one expects. But I could only pinpoint the case issue.
Maybe indeed it's best to open another thread if you can report something specific.
