Finding duplicates
Hi, My 'TV Shows' folder contains some duplicates, and I'd like to find them. I've been running each show through filebot (amc), and it has been fixing filenames etc. In some cases, there were multiple copies of an episode. In that case, filebot renames one, then skips the rest because the ...

Re: How to move/copy files that aren't TV or Movies
Ah I think I know why it didn't work for me. Looking through the logs... I used nonsense file extensions, not just names. e.g., "foobar.xyz". So the logs just have Input: /.../foobar.xyz ... Exclude: /.../foobar.xyz Contents were unchanged and `file` would've reported such, but I guess filebot only ...

Re: How to move/copy files that aren't TV or Movies
I guess --def unsorted=y really doesn't cut it for generic files. Right. Maybe tweak the docs a little bit to make it more clear what it's useful for and what it's not? I'm happy with my current solution, though it was a bit more work than setting a command-line flag. Sorry - to expand on this a ...

Re: How to move/copy files that aren't TV or Movies
After I wrote the above I realized that the grep route is actually a pain, because there's no distinction between something that ought to be ignored/thrown away (e.g. .par files), and something that is unrecognized (e.g., the extra files I copied in there to test). So here's my current solution ...

Re: How to move/copy files that aren't TV or Movies
The unsorted=y feature isn't working for me either, FWIW. I'm going to go the grep route, but just wanted to mention it. I tried copying videos to new nonsense filenames (e.g. "foobar.baz" - a few variations). I also tried throwing in other documents (e.g. an 11MB PDF file). Nothing seemed to work ...
