Oh, that's fantastic. I'll definitely be using those, if you're ok with that?
Are they available as classes/libraries at all? That would be faster at run-time.

You also need to give users a way of specifying how your program should interpret metadata from file names. This is because, contrary to the impression from this thread, most people actually dont use folder structures at all and just put metadata into structured file names.
Yes, that's a very good point too. That *will* be complicated. I don't like having to get users to type in regex expressions or funny syntax, so that'll take some real effort to come up with a suitable GUI.
