It just works... Perfectly as expected!

Thanks!!!

And thanks for the testing licence, too!

FileBot r10503 (see Latest Beta Revisions and Release Candidates ) now takes care of stripping the entire \p{Sk} character class in addition to the \p{Punct} character class. This change makes all the Documentary Films sample files above work as expected. I'd love to test it... But... Guess who ...

Thinking about it, i think i changed from “∶” U+2236 Ratio, to “꞉” U+A789 Modifier Letter Colon, as it looks more natural.
So yeah, i don't think i use 'Ratio'

Here's a few more! lol.

The story deepens! The sample paths you posted use “꞉” U+A789 Modifier Letter Colon and not “∶” U+2236 Ratio . I was only aware of the latter : ratio replacement. Looks like there's not one but two “:” U+003A Colon lookalike characters! Ah... I do seem to remember trying a different one before... I ...

Running FileBot 5.1.6 (r10435) Cleared the cache with Ctrl + Shift + Del Restarted Filebot. Throwing in some documentary films, and it has issues with most of, but not all the files with the ratio colon replacement character. Is there a newer version with the change? :arrow: I'd use Plain File Mode ...

I learnt to replace the colon with ratio right here on your forums. From other users. So i guess i'm not the only one. https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=55655 - Replace : colon with ∶ ratio https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13680 - [SNIPPET] Replace Characters, Words or P ...

Yeah, i see that FileBot adds the xattr metadata. I can't remember if i had cleared them all off the hdd while ago, as it used to pop up with the annoying popup saying about losing attributes when copying them to exfat/fat32 usb sticks... And i do remember setting '-no-xattr' for FileBot at the time ...

I, like many, have set FileBot to replace colon characters : with one of the replacements ꞉ But if i drop a few movies that contain these colon replacements into FileBot and get it to 'Fetch & Match data' from TheMovieDB, to check for any misnamed, updated names, or year changes, then it mostly pops ...

Got it,
Many thanks!

Recent versions of FileBot give you full access to episode-specific cast information: { episode.info.cast } e.g. $ filebot -list --q 72716 --db TheTVDB --format "{episode} | { episode.info.cast.name }" QI - 1x01 - Adam | [Danny Baker, Hugh Laurie, John Sessions] QI - 1x02 - Astronomy | [Bill Bailey ...

... I see that they've recently added per-episode GuestStars info. That's not supported right now. Also, I don't see the point of providing this kind of per-episode information. There are shows that really need this field tho. The UK's 'QI (Quite Interesting)' is a perfect example as each episode ...

:?: I see your point, but what specifically do you not like about this solution? For me, who uses FileBot A LOT, the fewer clicks, the better. The fewer pulldowns, the better. The fewer hidden settings, the better. And it really helps to have buttons showing, and settings visible. If we have a ...

rednoah wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024, 12:47 The simple version will look more like this:

Format: Select all

{
	(n + ' - '  + s00e00 + ' - ' + t).replace('<':'﹤','>':'﹥',':':'꞉','"':'“','/':'⁄','|':'⼁','?':'？','*':'﹡','\\':'∖')
}

That's much easier to understand!
Thanks!

EDIT: I'd be open for nifty UI ideas for "Pin Presets" feature though, but I haven't been able to think of a good solution. It would have to be something that is quick access but also does not clutter the UI at the same time. The current Presets button is already pretty good in that regard ...

So 'allOf' is what we need. For me, translating this back to a simple episode format, it'd be: {allOf{n}{s00e00}{t}.join(' - ').replace('<':'﹤','>':'﹥',':':'꞉','"':'“','/':'⁄','|':'⼁','?':'？','*':'﹡','\\':'∖')} ({airdate.format('yyyy')}) It doesn't work without the 'join()' bit. Correct? Could you ad ...

:!: Note that switching between databases or episode orders is a very bad idea depending on what you're doing. If TheMovieDB / Airdate Order does not work, then I'd make it work via Manual Matching . See How do I organize files for Plex? for details. :arrow: If switching database / episode order ...

Here's a quick and dirty mock-up of what I'm talking about. https://i.postimg.cc/wx1YvqGy/filebot-toolbar.png The toolbar can have other things on it of course. But i'd could have the databases on the left, and the user added Format Presets on the right. The Format presets ONLY change the format of ...

OK, i've added all my different formats as Presets. But... ...Maybe select a different database if the default isn't what you want. This doesn't work. If i use my Preset, which uses TheTVDB, but their data isn't correct, if i then Richt-Click and choose TheMovieDB instead, now it's not using the ...

http://i.imgur.com/rG3HFP5.png I've looked into the new Presets feature. But it's all too complicated. Having to define the db, etc. I just want to change the format being used. And it's not as quick as it could be. Again, when i drop in the file(s), i know exactly what format it needs to be. With ...

Can we replace all the illegal characters just once for the whole resulting filename? Instead of multiple times, once for the Name, again for the Title, again for the PrimaryTitle, yet again for the Localised Title, etc. etc? As it can make the Episode/Movie Format veeeeeeeeery long and not as ...

Thanks. But please appreciate that (as with all software) only a tiny fraction of your users look at the forums, and only a fraction of those will actually write posts. And only some of those will be aware that they do in fact lose everything if time is not spent actively backing them up, copying ...

We are not talking about FileBot's settings! No one cares about the settings... They can very quickly be reset. We're talking about the formats we create! ONLY THEM! The settings stay put, in their standard locations. We don't care. The formats we create should be stored in the user profiles with ...

How many of us have previously lost all the custom formats we've spent hours, days, weeks crafting, after our HDD crashed, or we clean-installed our OS, etc, etc... I did a few years ago, and spent hour trying to recreate them all. Frustrating as hell. I then searched the registry and found where ...
