I checked your linked mockup and it looks pretty good.
While in my case I agree with Lowlander regarding the need for only 1 path change, however I can also foresee that other people may have media stored on multiple drives or network locations, and so limiting the path change to a single option would affect those users negatively.
(when I started out collecting music, I had files scattered all over multiple external and internal drives)
I don't think I considered having multiple paths, so your proposed solution is better thought out than my original request.
One thing that is not clear, when you wrote search and replace, in my mind that means you want to do the search/replace as a post-process, where what I was thinking to include the path replacement within the item processing loop (in-process).
ie in the track info export-
- if pathsubst == true
-- for each pathfind
--- if stored file pathdrive = pathfind then set path/drive export to pathreplacement
or something like that, so it should evaluate path before export, perform the path replacement as needed, then export using the specified replacement path.
thanks again for your efforts.
