[Bug 364525] [NEW] [wishlist] button to update file names for whole library based on existing metadata

[Dominic Evans]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: banshee

I really like banshee's "Update file and folder names (Enabling this
option ensures that files and folders are renamed according to their
metadata" preference option, which keeps your ~/Music folder organized
based on the folder hierarchy you specify.

However, currently this renaming only takes place when you save metadata
to a file. It would be useful to have a button that causes this to
happen for the whole library (e.g., so you can rename/reorganize on
first import of an existing library). The only way to achieve this today
is to select all songs, right click and choose 'edit track information'
and then keep clicking Forward (or keep pressing ALT+F) to go through
all the songs without changing any of the values, then on the final song
hitting 'Save', this causes the renaming process to be invoked. It would
be nice if this was more intuitive.
