Fix/review custom folder structure fallbacks #Help #Question

https://github.com/jmathai/elodie/pull/283

Hey @jmathai,

Hope you’re well

Thanks for software, as always

As title

I won’t go into detail with my desired syntax (yet), instead I’ll simply use the README example[e] syntax:

[Directory]
month=%m
year=%Y
location=%city
full_path=%month/%year/%album|%location|%"Beats me"

… which yields unexpected results, where I see Unknown Location instead of Beats me:

Thanks for the detailed response. That’s a clever workaround for what I’d consider to be a bug 😃
