Change "File Paths" Processing for Albums with Same Name

SWIM 1 supporters

Right now I have my "File Paths" set like this:
<album_artist>/<album_name>/<track_name>

But, when processing the 2 different artists that happen to have the same album title, Bliss creates a "Various" folder with a sub folder named after the one album and it contains all the songs from both artists.
Bliss should process this situation like so:
2 folders are created with the 2 artists names, respectively. Then each folder has a sub-folder named after the album and each of those sub-folders has the tracks from the 2 different, but identically named albums.

What appears to be happening here is some confusion around what is denoted the "album artist" for the album.

We choose the album artist based on:

- The ALBUM_ARTIST tag
- The ARTIST tag
- The COMPILATION tag
- The location of the files (which act as a grouping indicator - the file/folder names are not used)

If "Various" is chosen at any point, this normally means the album was combined for some reason - is it a compilation, or are the files in the same folder?
