That would be the default behaviour.

Many thanks for the links. I do not quite understand. How could I achive this: I drag movies, folders with movies (with all other files coming with them) and drop them over FileBot. When I rename the files now I ALWAYS (for all further renmaings) want the sfv files and may be other not to be renamed and / or be deleted.
hat would be the default behaviour.
Not here obviously. Why does it not work then?

If you were to include screenshots and file paths, then I might be able to tell how your specific use case differs from the usual use cases.

Yes yes, I would like to, but I do not know what to show, there is not anything to show, just drag and drop the files, then click "TheMovieDB" and rename, that's all.

There is no option to exclude sfv files and what does "export" mean:

I am not quite sure which file paths are meant. This is the folder they are stored in: I:\Downloads\packt
And this the folder they should be copied when FileBot renames them: I:\Data\Videos\Films

I am not quite sure to understand anything. Many thanks for the links to the episodes thread, yes, very nice.

How can I achieve what you are showing with your screenshot?

1. Drop folder
2. Match against TheTVDB


I understand that you get different results. Perhaps you could take a screenshot of those different results. If you recreate the same test case that I have, then you too will get the same results. But you have a slightly different use case so you get slightly different results. I can't recreate your use case based on the limited information you have provided so far.
