Converter: outfile name generation question

Hello,

I am trying to configure the converter to write the new file into a directory with the same name as the source parent directory:

For example I may have

Code: [Select]
C:\flac\Abercrombie Johnson Erskine\01 first track.flac

that I want to convert to

Code: [Select]
D:\mp3\Abercrombie Johnson Erskine\01 first track.mp3


Now the artist field in the tag in the source file is specified as "Abercrombie/Johnson/Erskine" which wouldn't work as a directory name. Is there such thing as a %directory% variable I can use for this? I searched and couldn't find any info on whether this is possible.

Thanks again!
