The move doesn't allow me to create a new folder if this is a new place to move the file to.
That's also a two (or three) step process. It would be better to add the Save As dialog back in.
Hi,
If you just want to manually organize your file, you can still do by editing the Location field in the Properties dialog. The new folder/path will be created when you press OK.
BUT, the Auto-organize approach also lets you create a new folder and is quicker for repetitive edits. For instance, supposing you have your unorganized files on drive C and your organized files on drive D:
1 Select your unorganized file > Properties and click Auto-organize
2 In the Auto-organize dialog, configure a 'mask' (or several masks) to be used for organizing files e.g.
D:\My Documents\My Music\$if(<Album Artist>,$First(<Album Artist>), $First(<Artist>))\$if(<Album>,<Album>,)\$First(<Artist>) - $if(<Track #>,<Track #:2>) <Title>
3 Click OK to move the file
Then next time you're in this situation, instead of changing the path from C:.... to D:...manually specified path..., you can just choose the mask and organize your file!
