Did it! Thanks.

Normally I do find my way with easytag, even when it takes multible steps
for one little rename job. I must have starred myself blind on this one, as
the solution was nearby.

OK, I did use your idea with "parking" the filename in the Comment field:

1. Fill Tag > %c
2. Rename File and Directory > my wished text including the Episode %n at
the right spot
3. Fill Tag > %t
4. Rename File and Directory > %c

Thanks for the support
