Autofiling file tags from it name
AutoTag function is used to automatically fill in the fields of tag of edited file from the file name / path to the file. To call this function, press appropriate button in the File Information dialog or The Advanced Tag Editor:
In the format of the template you can use the following macros:

- artist, album, genre, title, year, track - define values of appropriate tag fields
- fake - can be used to pass text blocks of different lengths (refer to example below)

Using full path to file as data source

By default, AutoTag function uses filename without extension and path as a data source. To use the full path to the file as a data source you must specify "\" ("/" in Linux) character in the template. In both cases, the file extension is not considered.

Using %fake% macro

As it was mentioned above, %fake% is used to pass text blocks of various length. For example, suppose that we have two files with the path:
    C:\Music\Artist1\Folder(1)\01. Title1.mp3
    C:\Music\Artist2\Folder(2)\11. Title2.mp3
In order not to construct individual template for each of them, use the %fake% macro. As a result format string would look like this:
    C:\Music\%artist%\%fake%\%track%. %titl?%

Note

If you use identical macros in format string, the macro will contain the latest assigned value.
