minor tweaks for foobar (bookmark + scripting)

Hello... I'm using foobar for some time and was thinking about some things that could make it even more comfortable to use. Unfortunately, I'm not sure wheter they're not achievable by some already existing plugins.

First, I was wondering wheter there is some kind of scripting language, that makes it easier to do some tasks. For example file operations. When I want to restrcturalize files, I first need to move the directory, do a media library rescan, rename files and again do media library rescan. Four steps, which I'd like to merge into one in some script.

And another nice thing would be, to have foobar remember position in the song, that was being played before I turned it off.

So, if anyone has any advices, I'd be really glad  Thanks

[Sorry for my english, it's too late and somehow really complicated things came out of my mind, and I'm pretty sure they're just not correct.]

you can do that with the masstagger and title formatting scripts. look for the context item move, rename, copy files.

If you drag a folder into fb2k and if that folder is in your Media Library path, then you don't need to rescan the media library. Also, if you rename/move files from within fb2k, then you don't need to rescan the media library either, since fb2k auto-adjusts to those changes automatically.

Preferences > Playback > [X] Resume playback after restart

For this, go into Playback under Preferences, and check the Resume Playback After Restart box.

(Edit: It would really help if I read to the bottom of the thread, wouldn't it?)
