The use case is as I mentioned in my comment: "I often add a folder of files but want to either remove items or exclude items from being renamed."

Re: Feaure Request for multiple file selection
I know this is an old post but I would like to add my support for this request. I often add a folder of files but want to either remove items or exclude items from being renamed. The X button tooltip even says "Exclude selected items" so why can't we select more than one? https://i.ibb.co/XVPrgft ...

Re: Custom preset to rename videos and subtitles
Just add {subt} at the end. It'll work for both video files and subtitles files because {subt} is only defined for subtitle files: {n.removeAll(/[!?.]+$/).colon(', ')} ({y}) - {s00e00} - {t.removeAll(/[!?.]+$/).colon(', ').replacePart(' (Part $1)')}{subt} :arrow: {lang} and {subt} subtitle language ...

Custom preset to rename videos and subtitles
I have two custom presets that I use - one for renaming video files and one for renaming subtitle files. Is it possible to have FB do both in a single preset? This is the script for renaming the video files: {n.removeAll(/[!?.]+$/).colon(', ')} ({y}) - {s00e00} - {t.removeAll(/[!?.]+$/).colon ...

Stop FileBot opening multiple instances
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious but is there a way to stop FB opening multiple instances? I have a shortcut to FB in my SendTo menu. I send a folder to FB and perform my actions. But when I send another folder to FB and, instead of using the already open instance, it opens a new one.

Rename video/subtitle files and add language to subtitle at same time
Is it possible to rename video and subtitle files together but also add the language code to the subtitle files at the same time? eg: The Love Boat (1976) - S01E23 - Musical Cabins.eng.srt The Love Boat (1976) - S01E23 - Musical Cabins.mp4 This is the naming format I currently use: {n} ({y ...

Re: TVDB sometimes inserts year twice
If you're using Plex, then you absolutely want to use the {plex.id} format for organising and naming files. {plex.id} covers everything and is battle-tested by users with large non-trivial libraries: /path/to/Media/{ plex.id } :arrow: Please watch the How do I organize files for Plex? video ...

Re: TVDB sometimes inserts year twice
It always happens for some shows and never happens for other shows - as it should be - because TheTVDB considers the year part of the series name if the year is required to uniquely identify the series. i.e. The Flash (2014) refers to the new series while The Flash refers to the original series ...

TVDB sometimes inserts year twice
I have my episode naming format setup to insert the year but sometimes TVDB inserts it twice. Can anyone tell me why this happens?

Which file to start FileBot?
In the FileBot folder there are two files:
filebot.exe
filebot.launcher.exe
They're both the same size so which one should I use? There is nothing about it in the 'manual'.

Download links for 32-bit Windows
Why are there two different locations for downloading FB and they have different versions? Here: https://www.filebot.net/#download And here: https://www.filebot.net/download.html I would have thought there was only a 64-bit version and wouldn't have found the second link (with 32-bit versions) if I ...
