I used not to specify per\_disc\_numbering in my config. I made a change this morning, but `beet move -p` doesn’t want to move anything. Am I missing anything? I expect my files to be renamed.

```
per_disc_numbering: yes
paths:
    default: $albumartist/$album%aunique{}/%if{$multidisc,$disc-}$track $title
```

That takes effect at import time, since it affects how the metadata is _set_, not how it’s translated into paths. You’ll need to re-import to see it take effect.
