Bug: Shortcuts for Presets no longer working in 4.9.2
I have several presets and before I upgraded to the newest version I could quickly use them or switch between them depending on the content and the desired renaming types I wanted by pressing 1-9 about the usual qwertyuiop row on my keyboard but below the F keys (F1, F2, etc...). I don't think this ...

Re: TVDB Troubles - Again
Yes, but SSL changes would affect both v1 and v2 API clients. That being said, removal of legacy SSL versions won't affect FileBot, at least not recently (as in after ~2015) released versions, and the error would likely say something akin to SSL Handshake failed rather than Read timeout . Okay, tha...

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts
HOME and END also work.
``Presets can be called instantly via keyboard shortcuts 1..9``
It is just 1-9 in the alphabetic order? I read through but didn't read anything about specifying which shortcut is for what preset.

Re: Advanced MKV Meta Data Writing
1. FileBot does not modify files, and thus can't modify mkv properties which are embedded in the file content. Oh, I thought it could use MKVpropedit, which would only help with MKVs but most of my content is MKV. 2. FileBot does store the original filename as xattr (i.e. filesystem metadata) along...

Advanced MKV Meta Data Writing
I believe with FileBot 4.7.2 and up we can edit MKV Meta Data such as the MKVTitle.
I was wondering is there a way to do this from the GUI with my presets to make the original filename be added to the MKV Title so I can keep track of old filenames in case I made a mistake renaming?
