Whenever I code, I strongly believe in giving users options. If you cannot decide which way to go, then make it an option and let the user choose which way they want it, makes for more coding, but more happy users. Everyone is different and you can never make everyone happy, but adding options means...

1. No, matching should occur on the files being checked, not some obscure file not even located in the same directory or even with the same series name. Also, recall I was using Strict mode for all my testing. So definitely a bug. 2. Yes, that should help (though like I said, actually it shouldn't b...

Ok, 1. Sorry, but an nfo sitting in a directory above that somehow causes a series to be renamed incorrectly is a bug. 2. Why can't there be a simple method of matching? I mean "Salem" is a unique series name so the match should be exact and not require guesswork. Also, whether I choose St...

Removing the file has solved the Svartsjon issue (though who knows in the future if another nfo file causes another strange rename), but this does not seem to have helped my Strict checking, if Strict checking is on, why does FileBot return many results for a series for which there is only one serie...

Sigh... yes, finally found this : L:\Downloads\Sweet.Vicious.S01E07.Heartbreaker.1080p.MTV.WEBRip.AAC2.0.x264-BTW.nfo

And yes, somehow having that file in that directory causes FileBot to match Svartsjon to "Sweet Vicious"... talk about obscure!

I wish I could but I have too much in that directory, I would rather rename the directory and create a new one. Also... this only seems to happen under "L:\Downloads". I created a sub-directory "t" here with nothing in it and got this output : l:\downloads\t>dir Volume label : Ge...

No, I have checked, you have to be physically in the directory when running the CLI, it does not show the problem otherwise : c:\>filebot -rename "Downloads/Newsleecher/Svartsjon.S01E01.720p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264_0 (1).mkv" Rename episodes using [TheTVDB] Auto-detected query: [svartsjon] Fai...

Ok, this got stranger and stranger. In trying to figure where the logging option would be set for the GUI, I thought I would rerun the CLI command... and discovered that depending on which directory I run the CLI command in, I get different results : l:\downloads>filebot -rename "Svartsjon (Swe...

Sorry, but I really don't have enough information here in order to do anything : 1. Setting "-Dnet.filebot.logging.debug=ALL" in filebot.launcher.l4j.ini does nothing. 2. There is no console or console output so I don't understand how this option is supposed to work. 3. Where do I set the ...

Where do I find the log files?

1. Irrelevant. 1.1. You can stick any program you like in any directory you like, windoze simply does this for convenience to split the programs... which ultimately is pointless since a user will almost never install two different bit versions of a program. I never install a program into (x86) unles...

Hmm, ok, I removed "C:\Program Files\FileBot" (please note the installer will not install to this location even though I don't want it in (x86) and tried to install into the directory indicated), removed "AppData\Roaming\FileBot", re-installed the program to the default location,...

Tried "filebot -script fn:xattr /path/to/files" and all it returned was "Done ?(?????)?"... so apparently not. Even wiped out the "AppData\Roaming\FileBot" directory and it still matched to "Sweet Vicious".

It being Swedish and missing an English alias makes sense that it cannot find it. Anything I can do to help you find the issue? Just tried "Svartsjon (Swe, Fre, Eng) S01E08.srt" and it found "Sweet Vicious S01E08 - Back to Black", so the Strict setting seems to be ignored. Are yo...

1. My preferences are still set to "Strict". 2. Um, I'm not sure which filenames you would like as text. Presumably Svartsjon so examples would be : Svartsjon.S01E01.720p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264.srt Svartsjon.S01E01.720p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264_0 (1).mkv Svartsjon.S01E02.SWEDiSH.720p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0...

Hi rednoah, Me again, wondering what happened this time. I am trying out 4.7.7 and (potentially using a very obscure series again, it's Swedish), wondering what happened this time? http://imgur.com/a/QFIWt I am not sure how it converted "Svartsjon" to "Sweet Vicious" since they a...

Well... I was hoping there was a "default sort" type feature, but if not, ah well. then yes, I will have to be careful how I drag and drop the files from windows. Thanks for the info.

Your link indicates exactly what is happening in the current version of FileBot, however as I have indicated, this is not what happens in 4.6.1. I know you said you have changed nothing, but something is definitely different because previously FileBot would sort the list, but now it does not. Is the...

Sorry, I should have attached a screenshot : http://imgur.com/a/GBl9i If I highlight a list, then select a file in the middle of this list and drag it to the GUI, in 4.6.1 it will sort this list, in 4.7.5/7 it does not. For the screenshot I highlighted all the files for "Welcome to Paradox"...

Hi there,

In version 4.6.1 the GUI would automatically sort filenames in the left panel, making checking of names matching from the right panel much easier. This feature has disappeared from 4.7 onwards. Is there anyway to get this back?

Thanks
Andrew

Yes, I have tried Strict mode, and unfortunately, no it makes no difference. Here are images of the attempts : NCIS - http://imgur.com/a/X1zLW, Humans - http://imgur.com/a/1Dehy Yonderland - http://imgur.com/a/xdTT7 Sweet/Vicious - http://imgur.com/a/4DMuj All files are in "L:\Downloads\Newslee...

1. Every little bit helps in automation :) 2. Thanks, but that made no difference. I understand what you mean, but there should be a way of making a one to one match when the series name can be made uniquely. That is why I did not indicate "Once Upon a Time" which has the same year issue. ...

Thanks for the update. I noticed that my 3.3. problem is not actually related to the directory name, but the actual series name, see below. The new version seems a handle the directory names better, so I tried a general rename of a lot of files. Now the following is reported : 1. The.Librarians.2014...

1. Actually, it is not just that specific example, I had the same problem with Criminal.Minds.S12E07.Mirror.Image.PROPER.1080p.AMZN.WEBRip.DD5.1.x264-VISUM_0.mkv. I didn't bother to try the various other ones I had as it seemed they would all have a similar problem. I didn't give the path because I ...

Hi there, Since upgrading to 4.7 I have found the pattern matching actually worse than before. So much so that I have gone back to 4.6.1 which does not have the same problems. There are several issues I have seen with the new pattern matching : 1. For some reason FileBot 4.7.5 cannot identify a seri...
