Normal topicRename file with Artist only if Artist is mixed

I would like to use the Artist field in file renaming but only if the 'Artist' field is mixed.

I ultimately want to use this in an action but I have added screenshots demonstrating the two file naming templates.

I would like to combine these features into the same renaming template or action.

Is this possible?

I have found a solution to this using an action.

Use the Compare Fields function in actions before an if else statement.

I was just sitting down to answer and you beat me to it.

You've done it the same way I would. It'll work fine as long as you're working on a single album at a time.

BTW: In the Action Manager you can associate the action with the Rename menu. It'll then appear in a submenu named Actions on the Rename menu.

Brilliant, that's very useful. Thanks for that 😀

Screenshot below for anyone else who might want to do this.
