Allow user hints for TMDB search when file is ambiguos

Sometimes FileBot is not sure which film it is dealing with and prompts the user to decide. Unfortunately those options are also sometimes not helpful. To improve the situation it would be great if users could call up a search dialog that allows basic inputs like parts of the file name and year (lik...

Re: How about sharing our format expressions?

Movies with localized title + original and alternative titles I want to keep movie files in a Plex-compatible format with the localized title leading. In addition the original title should be added in square brackets. If the local title is equal to the original title, then the original title can be...

Re: Feature Request: Add alternative titles

Just some more positive feedback: I have been working through lots of movies now with the provided formatting rules: {ny} { allOf{ primaryTitle }{ localize.en.n }.joiningDistinct(', ', '[', ']'){ n.contains(it) ? null : it } } The experience is fantastic. The only shortfalls are due to data issues i...

Re: Focus of selected item is shifting after renaming

I feel silly, that I missed that. To my defense: It was before my first cup of coffee.

The beta version is now installed and the fix works. 👍 Thank you.

Re: Focus of selected item is shifting after renaming

I cannot install the beta version with the following error message: „FileBot_4.9.4.pkg“ kann nicht geöffnet werden, da Apple darin nicht nach Schadsoftware suchen kann. Apparently the Apple provided installer refuses to run the pkg, because it cannot inspect for malware. This is on a M1 Mac running ...

Re: Feature Request: Add alternative titles

Wow. Just wow! Works like a charm. There are a few exceptions, where the results differ from expectations. But these appear to be because of the database - TheMovieDB in my case. In that case, of course, there is nothing FileBot can do. I am still providing examples in case I am mistaken: Secret déf...

Re: Feature Request: Add alternative titles

Indeed, I ran into an issue with duplicates. KYC - Know your customer. 😂 Specifically where a film has been released in Germany under the original title: Psycho (1960) [Psycho] With the unique part I get: Psycho (1960) [] Any way to remove the [] as well? And if I may dream: For newer releases, the ...

Re: Feature Request: Add alternative titles

Great. Thank you. The ideal outcome for me would be like this: German movie title (year) [Original movie title] [Alternative German movie title if exists] This formula gets close: {n.colon(' - ')} ({y}){' pt'+pi}{subt} [{primaryTitle}] {alias} and {movie.alternativeTitles} don't help much to get clo...

Focus of selected item is shifting after renaming

What I do: Drop a list of files to Filebot Match them via Filebot Check and sometimes amend results via "Edit name" After editing the file name in the text box, I press "return" and come back to the file list Everything looks the same as before (except of course the amended file ...

Feature Request: Add alternative titles

I would like to see alternative titles added in the file name. These could be the original title name, alternative spellings, other names for the same film. Like so: Außer Kontrolle (1996) [Chain Reaction] Der Retter (2009) [A L'Origine] 8 Namen für die Liebe (2014) [Acht Namen für die Liebe] Chloe ...

Re: Original file is deleted when character validation is denied

Confirmed.

The original file had the single character "…" at the beginning.
Filebot renamed that to a three character "..." which lead to the file being hidden.

Thank you.

Feature Request: Show shortcuts behind menu

I would like to see available shortcuts behind the menu entry.

A common menu entry is
  • "Copy ctrl-c"
Filebot menu examples would be
  • "Edit Match F3"
  • "Edit Name F2"
Full list for Filebot: viewtopic.php?t=12703

Sorry for the late reply. I missed the notification mail.

F2 and F3 work as expected. Thank you.

Also thanks for linking the keyboard shortcuts. Helpful.

Original file is deleted when character validation is denied

I have a film that has "…" in its name like so: "… this is the movie name". File Bot matches this file to "… this is the movie name (1997)" with the year, and Filebot further wants to validate the file name by removing the "…" at the beginning. The "…&quo...

Feature Request: Keyboard shortcuts for "Edit Format / Match / Name"

I use "Edit Format / Match / Name" a lot.

It would be useful to have keyboard shortcuts for these.

(I would provide a screenshot, if only I were not too limited in figuring out how to perform such a basic task in this forum. :roll: )
