I upgraded from a 2.x something version to 3.0.4.

I tag an album, 8 tracks, or whatever, with extra files.
save changes, select "Organize Files"

Overwrite existing files and or copy files instead of moving them (either checked doesn't matter)

When using the "organise files" function, it seems any option selected, it will only move or copy one file and the rest of the files seem to just disappear to nowhere! Copy/Move Non-Music Files checked will move or copy all of those, but any mp3 files... just seem to go away. If it "copy files instead of moving them" is unchecked, the original files do remain, if it is not, the files seem to be gone forever - not in recycle bin, not anywhere!?

the one mp3 file that it does copy, it retags to something different. like the album parameters.mp3 or something. Haven't been able to dig deep enough to figure it out. It just seems something is very wrong.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it correctly, but it's something that worked perfect in 2.x and doesn't seem to work at all in 3.0.4.

I've also noticed that using "Cntrl C" in text fields does not Copy, you have to right click/copy to do a copy command.

    It should work, cause i use this unction nearly every day.

    There was a slight change between version 2.x and version 3.0.3.
    Before the "Format" field contained only the Parameters of the Folder, which should be created.
    After version 3.0.3 you need to specify the filename parameter as well.

    as an example, let's assume we have:

    Album Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Album: I'm with you
    Track: 01
    Titel: Monarchy of Roses

    We use Organise with this parm:

    Target Root Directory: D:\Music
    Format: <O>\<B>\<K> - <T>

    The File will end up in:
    D:\Music\Red Hot Chili Peppers\I'm with you\01 - Monarchy of Roses.mp3

    The error with Ctrl-C is already fixed and will be part of the next release, which i will do this weekend.
