Folder hierarchy and album compilations

Hi,

I am using Banshee 1.5.0 and when adding an compilation artist to an album banshee correctly puts all the files into a new compilation folder (eg. The Big Lebowski OST) but it renames the files to %compilation_artist% - %track_title% instead of %artist% - %track_title%. This is annoying because filenames are now "Various Artists - Just Dropped In" instead of "Kenny Rogers - Just Dropped In"...meaning you lose information in the filename.

Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

%artist% is now an alias for %album_artist%. You should be able to use
%track_artist% to do what you want.
