"Replace text..." on a sorting pattern?

[PaddyPatPat]

Hi all,

I’m trying to get “replace text” on a sorting pattern to work and failing.

I wish to sort music files into folders based on the number of audio channels the file has. File meta-data contains a value called “audio channels” with a value like 1 for mono and 2 for stereo.

I’m trying to sort these files into folders based on that number using “Sort into subfolder” with pattern. I’ve selected “audio channels” and I’m using the drop down to access more options, specifically “Replace text…”.

Inside “Replace text…” I have a list that says “replace 1 with mono”, “replace 2 with stereo” in the appropriate spots.

When I run the rule, the files are distributed correctly however the folder keeps the original audio channel value, e.g, “1” or “2”. The example in expanded “with pattern” box also shows the numeric value, rather than the replacement text value.

I realise that this is a minor thing but… am I doing something wrong?

It appears to be a bug when replacing text of numeric attributes. I'll look into a fix for the next version.
