Re: [madman-discuss] New AutoTag Algorithms and Proposed AutoRename feature

[Chris E. <ce...@gm...>]

Ian,

Actually, I went back and did more or less the same thing.  I noticed
that madman was able to follow the files to where I renamed them so I
think I've got what I need.  But like you said, neither of us have a
very configurable and global way of doing this.  Is there a need or
demand for something built-in?  I'd be happy to look into putting
something together for review.
