FileBot

I am using this preset for renaming movie files:

Files: Use Original Files selection
Format: {plex.name}/{plex.name}

However, when I run this preset it moves files up the folder tree. For example, I have a file in:
D:\Movies\To Watch\Movie to be renamed.mp4

when I run the preset it moves to
D:\Movies\Movie Name\Movie Renamed.mp4

Am I using the wrong syntax?

Thanks.

If your format generates a relative file path, then FileBot will try to integrate that relatively to the current file structure.


Where do you want to move / organize files? The file path given above looks good to me in the given context:
You can generate absolute file paths to organize files paths absolutely:

Note that {plex.name}/{plex.name} is a bad idea because you will not get what you want once you process subtitle files:

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Ideally I would like the movie folder to be created relative to the location where the file is opened.

So in the case of: I would like it to be located in: Is there a way to set that?

You can generate an absolute path to move / rename files exactly as specified by that absolute path:
