Metadata Updating

Help & Support
1

This is a two part question:

  1. Is there an easy way of updating the "Title" in metadata properties with the name of the file? Currently, I manually go into the metdata properties and update each music/DVD file that way. I was only able to find a button that updates "Ratings".

  2. Is there a way to review metadata for each file without having to go out of metadata properties each time I want to review the next file?

I hope that makes sense.

Thank you

Never mind on question two, I figured that out using the (F9) key.

  1. This should work, but give it a try on some test files first:

@sync:dopusrt /acmd SetAttr {filepath} META title:{file|noext}

Works like a charm, thank you so much Leo.

Leo, could you please explain, WHY this one doesn't work:

SetAttr META title:{file|noext}

It took me some time to find this old post.

That would set every selected file to the name of the first file. (And possibly then set them all to the name of the 2nd, 3rd, etc. until they all had the last file's name. Or it might stop at the first file, depending on the exact internals of the command. Either way, it wouldn't do what you probably want.)
