Copy To malfunction

Post by gryndrr »

I have made a custom Copy to command like this: {a}/{a} [{y}] {b}/{d}.{n} {t}
"remove source files" is checked too. When I tried to Copy to some downloaded folders containing mp3 files to the same directory they were in, all but one of the folders disappeared. The songs from the lost folders are not showing up in the library also even though before running the command they were there. How did this happen? Where could the folders/files have gone since I don't want to lose them. PS: I ran the command after selecting the folders in guayadeque's file browser.

I selected the source directory that contained the music folders. It is named "complete" and is part of my collection (library) in guayadeque.

I just realised what 'Copy to' does assuming initially that it could be used to change the folder structure my music was organised in like in foobar2000 with the 'file operations' module. It's just a simple copy-to-location/device thing and I thought I could use it to make my collection orderly by copying stuff to the folder structure as in my posts above.

Still though it's not working properly. I've made two patterns: {a} [{y}] {b}/{d}.{n}. {t} (this is named 'Folder' and has 'remove source files' unchecked, to copy the whole folder the artist/album/song is in by using 'Copy to' in the respective areas in Guayadeque), {d}.{n}. {t} (this is named 'File' with everything else same and intended to copy individual songs by clicking a single song or selecting more than one in the player). But using the first pattern the folder that's getting copied to the end location only has the album cover and no music files, and the second pattern does nothing.

I don't know what is going on. I thought I had it but I'm back to square one. Anonbeat and co, kindly shed some light on this.

[] has no meaning in guayadeque pattern and it will be used in the final folder name.
Taking that into note, it should work.
Could you please send me the output of guayadeque running from console and doing this operation with some files ?

Thanks for your help
