incremental marker naming question / problem

Post by Martin Hairer »

my problem is the filenaming convention is numerical i.e. P458-01,
P458-02, etc.. when Amadeus tries to modify markers it creates
P458-01, P459-01, etc... not what I need! Is there any way around
this with amadeus or do I need to rename all the files once they're
saved?
You can't do that with AP, but here is a workaround. Place markers
with names
like "Track 01", "Track 02', etc and split the file. Then open the
terminal, move
to the folder in which your files were saved, and type the following
admittedly
rather cryptic command:

ls | sed "s/\(Track\)\(.*\)/mv '\1\2' 'P458\2'/" | tcsh

This will rename all the files starting with "Track" into the same
name, but starting
with "P458". Regards,

Martin
