Normal topicHelp with rename template

Hi, i am in the process of defining a new rename template which takes box-sets into account.

For example:

I have the boxset from Bill Withers: The Complete Sussex and Columbia Albums.

The resulting structure should be as follows:
Withers, Bill/The Complete Sussex and Columbia Albums/Disc 1 - Just As I Am/01 - Title.flac
and so on...

I am using ALBUMARTISTSORT instead of ALBUMARTIST.

The rename template should be using the discsubtitle if available, if not just leave it blank (only Disc 1, Disc 2)
The folders Disc 1 etc. should be only used for a multi-disc album (Totaldisc greater 1).
I would highly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

I think I have it. At least my tests were successful:
❨Track Pad2❩ - ❨Title❩
❨IfDup❩
     (❨Dup #❩)
❨endIf❩

❨Folder Start❩

❨Ignore if Empty❩
❨IfMultiDisc❩
     Disc ❨Disc❩❨Ignore if Empty❩ - ❨Set Subtitle❩
❨endIf❩

❨Folder Start❩

❨Year4❩ - ❨Album❩

❨Folder Start❩

❨Sort Album Artist❩

❨Folder Start❩

❨Genre❩

Love this tool 🙂

Ok, i have one finding:
If it is a multi disc album and Set Subtitle is not available the result is Disc 1-
I understand the problem, but how can I tell Yate, that also the dash needs to be ignored if Set Subtitle is empty.
Thanks!

Change:

❨IfMultiDisc❩
Disc ❨Disc❩❨Ignore if Empty❩ - ❨Set Subtitle❩
❨endIf❩

to:

❨IfMultiDisc❩
Disc ❨Disc❩❨IfExists Set Subtitle❩ - ❨Set Subtitle❩
❨endIf❩

The ❨Ignore if Empty❩ is redundant as it is already specified in the same ❨Folder Start❩. It doesn't hurt ... just unnecessary. 🙂

Oops ... you should put an ❨endIf❩ after the ❨Set Subtitle❩ token.

❨IfMultiDisc❩
Disc ❨Disc❩❨IfExists Set Subtitle❩ - ❨Set Subtitle❩❨endIf❩
❨endIf❩
