--action hardlink

Post by zwaffel »

Hi, im having trouble with --action hardlink. My command looks like this:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename . -r --format "../sorted/{n}/{sxe} - {t}" --mode hardlink --db anidb --mode interactive
When i run this all the files out of my folder will be renamed and MOVED to the new sorted folder. I though this command would leave the original files in the folder they belong to and make a hard link that will be placed in the sorted folder.
I have tried to change --action hardlink to duplicate but this also did not what expected. My files get moved to the other folder instead of being duplicated or hard linked.
I am running filebot on a linux machine.

It's --action hardlink and not --mode hardlink. The command above will default --action move as --action is left unspecified. If you continue to have trouble, please post the console output.
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
