File name patterns in more than one line

Hi there,

when I do some file operations it would be quite helpful to have for example the File name pattern in more than one line, to get a better overview on the syntax.
Assume you have this very simple example here (which is not really complicated, but I try to illustrate, what I mean):

Code: [Select]
$if(%discnumber%,%album artist%/%SET%/$num(%SETORDER%,2) ['['%date%']' ]%album%/%discnumber%.%track% - %title%,%album artist%/%SET%/$num(%SETORDER%,2) ['['%date%']' ]%album%/%track% - %title%)

If there would be the possibility to write it like this:
Code: [Select]
$if(%discnumber%,
     %album artist%/%SET%/$num(%SETORDER%,2) ['['%date%']' ]%album%/%discnumber%.%track% - %title%,
     %album artist%/%SET%/$num(%SETORDER%,2) ['['%date%']' ]%album%/%track% - %title%
   )
the code would become much easier to read and if you assume, you have a much more complicated pattern with more nested ifs, it would make searching for errors much easier.
Are there any plans to implement something like what describe or is there another place/module to edit those patterns in more lines?

Thanx, Rainer

Thank you for the hint.
Had a look at it. Do I see it right, that I cannot edit the different presets I have, but only one code, that I have to copy and paste back?

I recommend that you ask your question in the subforum for the component. I haven't used it since I currently do little title formatting, but keep it in mind for when that changes. And answers to any questions you have may well help others reading the subforum for information.
