Re: Format 'Presets' & db toolbar

:?: 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 choi...

That's much easier to understand!
Thanks!

Re: Format 'Presets' & db toolbar

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 regar...

Re: Replace characters once for whole filename?

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 ...

Replace characters once for whole filename?

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?

Re: Store formats in User's profile to prevent loss.

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!

Poll: Hand's up who's lost all of their custom formats after a crash/reinstall?

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...

Re: Store formats in User's profile to prevent loss.

The most flexible solution would be to, yes, ask us where we would like to save our formats at first start up. Great idea. I'd make the default, initial suggested location: %USERPROFILE%/FileBot Formats/FileBot Formats.txt $HOME/FileBot Formats/FileBot Formats.txt or something similar. (https://en.w...

Re: Store formats in User's profile to prevent loss.

Storing created work in the user's profile folders absolutely is standard practice! MS Word doesn't save word documents in the AppData folder... it stores them in the Documents folder!

Store formats in User's profile to prevent loss.

Would it be possible for FileBot to store the custom formats that we create in our user profile folder...

Filebot doesn't like ampersands '&'

If a filename mistakenly has an ampersand, &, instead of an 'and', it often (at least sometime, if not always) fails to identify the file.

Could fb have the ability to see 'and' and & as the same? So that the files are IDed.

Re: Format 'Presets'

Not actually knowing which files should be formatted with which format is of course a valid point. Whatever general rules you have in you mind there's probably a couple of exceptions. And those exceptions are the only thing that would really blow up the format. ... Yep, those pesky exceptions! LOL!...
