Auto-Organize Ignores <AlbumArtist> ending in a period

Post by TekGamer »

I'm running MM 3.2.0.1294

Using the Auto-Organize mask: E:\Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Artist> - <Title>

and the following details in the Mp3 Tag:
Album Artist = T.I.
Album = Urban Legend
Artist = T.I.
Title = U Don't Know Me

results in:
E:\Music\T.I\Urban Legend\T.I. - U Don't Know Me.mp3
instead of:
E:\Music\T.I.\Urban Legend\T.I. - U Don't Know Me.mp3

It simply ignores the period on the end of the <AlbumArtist> name and results in E:\Music\T.I instead of E:\Music\T.I.

No. Windows will not allow a folder that ends in a period. You add a folder and manually type in "T.I." and when you hit enter, it will automatically become "T.I". That's on Vista at least, but I seem to recall it being the same for XP. Can't remember for 98 and before. Haven't used Vista.

Thus, this is an issue with Windows, not MediaMonkey.

Maybe it's just a Windows 7 thing then. I can rename a folder in MM running on Windows 7 to make it end with a period, but only from WITHIN MM, weird?
