Hi,
Folders are not accompany files. My rip folder have hundreds of folders if it moved all folders it will influence thousands of other media files.

Okay, with further testing, it seems it does move folders IF it moves any other file in the same directory as the audio files, like a log, cue, or even just the one cover. But if the ONLY thing in the directory with the audio is a folder, it will not move it.

I think that people would want it move folders within folder, as you suggest. ... ie. to follow what would happen if we did the job manually using File Explorer.
That should be the default, and probably only, behaviour IMO.

This is fixed it seems, thanks!

Though as a subsidiary issue, it does not move folders within the folders. Most of my albums have the scans in a separate folder. I forgot to mention that in the earlier post.

Thanks for reporting, I see the same, for me the accompanied files are never moved (and the confirm dialog isn't shown at all),

I posted about this a while ago and it seemed to get more reliable, but it still only works about 30% of the time for me.

I have easy testing, as I'm going through and adding release month/date to my release years, and my folders are organized: Artist -> YYYY-MM-DD - [Album Name]. (It used to be just YYYY - [Album Name])

I'll usually edit an entire artist's discography, then Ctrl+R to auto-organize them to the new structure. To be clear, it has ALWAYS moved the audio files without issue. And it seems like the "simpler" the other contents are, the higher chance of moving them all. For example, if I just have a cover.png in each folder, most of the time it will move those and delete the old folder. But if I have multiple arts, logs, cues, etc., there's a much lower chance of it functioning. The dialogue to move the other files comes up.. about 80% of the time. But even those times it does, it sometimes fails to move files.

I believe that IF it does indeed move all extra files, it deletes the old, now empty, folder, so that's not an issue.

EDIT: Yeah, no clue. I just did my whole I See Stars discography. Edited just the release dates, then Ctrl+R'd it. Of the 6 albums that moved, 4 of them came up in the "move additional files" dialogue, but the only files listed were some of the covers and some of the .logs. Lots of stuff was missing, and none of the .cue files came up.

Awesome, thanks!

Hi,
I tested this behavior and added it as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=15983

Please feel free to add another test case/problem you are finding.

I've narrowed it down; if you auto-sort one album, it moves all of the other files like artwork or logs and sometimes deletes the remaining empty folder. BUT if I auto-sort MULTIPLE ALBUMS (even by the same artist), it does NOT move any files other than the music.

Would there be any way to implement it like the older version of MM which had a popup dialogue box where you could checkbox each item you wanted to move or not?

So I finally made the jump to MM5 after holding off for a while. I love the new design and it runs very smoothly! With the exception of one rarely used script that I miss (Auto Increment Track#), I've gotten everything else set up almost exactly the same as MM4 and everything works perfectly EXCEPT one thing I can't figure out. I have an "intake" folder for new music that I add to the library, then I correct/edit any tags before Auto Organizing (Ctrl+R) to my main Music directory. All of this works fine as before, except it does not give me the option to also move other files in the folder (logs, artwork, etc.). I couldn't find anything on this in any of the options menus, am I missing something?
