Yes, but that only gets you the data. It doesn't get you a "click here
to make all existing file names match their metadata" button. That would
require more scripting and the whole problem is that the "after the
fact" rename is not part of the default extension behaviour.
Mingovia: Have you tried editing an unimportant field? (like "comment"
or "composer") It might trigger a rename, or Banshee might be too
intelligent and know that you changed something that won't affect the
file name.

if you download and install (under a deb just apt-get install -y
sqlitebrowser), you can look at the dbs.

I would like all of these files renamed to their correct song files,
in their correct album directories. Do you know how to do this? It
appears to be impossible to do this manually.

I imported my music CDs into Banshee. Many of the CDs were
old, and did not

I then added
the metadata by hand. I did this for about 100 CDs. Now, I
find out that
this work I did failed to update the file names for all of
these songs.
Belatedly, I found the option to update the file names when
you manually
edit the metadata. But, even though I now have updated my
preferences to do
this, it did not update all of the (thousands) of files that I
already
manually edited. It looks like it will now work properly for
any CDs I
import and manually edit in the future. But, this does not
really help with
my current situation.
Is there any way to force Banshee to go back and change all of the
(thousands of) file names to match the metadata I have entered?
