Hey,
sorry for my bad english...
is it possible to categorize Movies via Shortcut into Genres? I wil not move the Orginal Files, only make an Shortcut/Hyperlink to the orginal file.
Deutsch:
Ist es möglich Filme zusätzlich mit Verknüpfungen zu Kategoriesieren? Ich möchte gerne von A-Z und Genres Ordner erstellen und dort automatisch mit Filebot die Filme via Verknüpfung einordnen.
danke
Movies in Genre Folders (Shortcut)
Re: Movies in Genre Folders (Shortcut)
you can use something like this in F2 mode
or
viewtopic.php?t=2072
Code: Select all
{fn.match(/(?:^.*\()(\w+)(?:.+\)$)/)}
Code: Select all
{folder.name.match(/(?:^.*\()(\w+)(?:.+\)$)/)}
Re: Movies in Genre Folders (Shortcut)
I recommend making a primary structure with Y:/Media/{plex} as format, and then based on that you can easily mirror many file and folder structures (e.g. using F2 mode since it's going to be quicker) using any other format of your choosing.
You'll want to use hardlink instead of copy for that of course, since we just want to duplicate the file system entry, not the physical data on disk.
If Y: is a NTFS drive, then you can use hardlinks and symlinks. If it's a FAT drive, or a network drive, then you're out of luck and can't create file system links of any kind.
