dot character (".") as whitespace character (rather than _ or space)

I saw your post about underscores in file renaming.

Is there any configuration options I can set to use a different character rather than the underscore?

I sorta like the "." character to separate.

The_Best_Of_Johnny_Cash

You had mentioned there is support for the "-" character, but at the moment, it requires adopting a custom renaming rule as described at
To get the hyphen you have to adopt a custom pattern as described here: http://www.blisshq.com/support/tutorials/tidy-music-folder-file-org.html And the UI for selecting that character doesnt really scale to allowing the user to pick (or even you to offer the ".") . eg; if you offered the period character, the list would grow: "use space for album name", "use hypen for album name", "use dot for album name".. maybe there's a dropdown or text input box to specific the character to use for each element.

"use [select one|space|hypen|dot"] for album name"

Love the product so far. Thanks for considering this idea,

It looks like that format has some hard coded options for the separator, rather than a selector for the seperator character. eg: specify the separator character for "all", "album name", "artist name", etc.

hurm, babbling.

Thanks Mark. That's a good point about the UI not scaling... something that will have to be addressed as more tokens are added.
