Description 82d 2023-07-02 15:33:09 UTC 
for example, I have 4 tracks, in the tags it is numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4. but in the file name it goes like 01, 02, 03, 04. in the settings there is an item that seems to change the number of digits in the track number. but it didn't have any effect.
it would be nice to be able to choose the numbering format in the file name (1 or 01 or 001). Or at least so that the numbers match the numbers in the tags.

The import does not change fields which seem to be unchanged, for example only the case (uppercase/lowercase characters) changed or the numbers are formatted differently. This is by design and is also the case for the "Tools/Number Tracks" action. If you want to change track number which are the same but formatted differently, you have to delete them before importing/renumbering.

You can control the format of the numbers in the file name as is described in the handbook:

%t %{track.n} Track with field width n (e.g. 001 for %{track.3})

The default is two digits, i.e. %{track} is the same as %{track.2}.

great, this works great. I apologize for not reading the documentation enough.
