you are asking me which examples wouldn't be covered? You were asking for the examples in the first place :) Funny. For the bits and pieces to work together I would need conditionals (see my initial posting at the top), and this is where things stopped working due to unclear syntax errors. As I trie...

OK now we are getting closer, have you looked at the other examples too?

I am still confused. I gave you exactly old to new path mapping for all corner cases. You already have all examples that you would need, you just picked 2 and misunderstood them. What are you missing? You say you are missing file paths and then you pick the only examples that use a placeholder "...

:idea: If you need help with prototyping a custom format, then we will need example file paths for testing. Ideally, one example file path for each of your conditions, with corresponding desired destination path. Thank you so much. You will find the examples in a picture posted at the attached URL....

I intend to import not only in Kodi, but also into other tools. The name changes ...

I am new to FileBot and for me it is a one-off migration tool, not intended for recurring use. I have now spent several hours to figure out what is the right renaming expression for me, and failed. I experimented, read the documentation and searched around in this forum. Definitely I need help with ...
