The options menu provides you with a variety of methods to customise the application.
These are described below.
Options > Extract... > ID3 Data
Use this option to say whether or not ID3 (Version 1) tags will be extracted from MP3 files.
At present only Artist, Album and Title are extracted, but even this can slow down the processing a lot.
If you don't need these fields then leave this option un-ticked to speed up the processing.
Additions - Add a fixed prefix or suffix to the filename, and certain Exif and ID3 tags
This allows you to add a fixed text string to the start of the filename, and also a fixed text string
to the end of a filename. Useful for renaming MP3 files, where you can prefix all the filenames with
the artist or album name. You can also insert a text string at any point in the filename.
If you are processing JPEG files, you can also extract certain EXIF tags.
These are specified using substitution tags, which you key into the Prefix, Insert or Suffix boxes (box 7).
The tags current available are:
%a - Aperture
%e - Exposure
%f - Focal Length
%xb - Exposure Bias
If you are processing MP3 files, you can also extract certain ID3 tags (n.b. only V1 and V1.1 ID3 tags are supported).
These are specified using substitution tags, which you key into the Prefix, Insert or Suffix boxes (box 7).
The tags current available are:
%r - Artist
%l - Album
%t - Title
%k - Track Number
You can also specify %z to include the file size (using the format currently specified on the Options menu)
You may also choose to add a "WordSpace". This will insert a space before any capital letter (except the first character),
unless there's a space already there. So, the name "MyHoliday Photographs" would become "My Holiday Photographs".
