Please add the ability to supply directories in replace method, especially using regular expressions.
I know I can do this via scripting, and did, but it would be really useful, intuitive, fast and easy to have this in the regular replace method. Example File name: Artist - Song.mp3 Text to be replaced: (.*) - (.*) Replace with: $1\\$2 In move mode we cannot access matches from within the replace method. |

The ability to change the file path could be extended into other renaming methods but would be most useful in the replace method.

As a workaround, although I much prefer being able to change the file path in the method itself, you could provide a match method, which allows for the creation of custom named tags from the matched (sub-) patterns. Those could later be used in move mode to supply directory information.
Example File name: Artist - Album - Song.mp3 Match: (.*?) - (.*?) - (.*?) Make matches available as global variables: $1: <CustomTag: Artist> $2: <CustomTag: Album> $3: <CustomTag: Song> New name: <CustomTag: Song> Move mode: Output folder: <CustomTag: Artist>\<CustomTag: Album> Nevertheless, the simplicity of changing the file path from within renaming methods beats custom tags or scripting the path easily.
