renaming associated files such as poster.jpg and fanart.jpg

Post by WingmanNZ »

I have movies in a `name (year)` folder setup along with it's relevant 'poster.jpg`

Is it possible to configure FileBot to move the `poster.jpg` when a rename of the movie file changes it's directory?

1.
Yes, but only if the poster matches the movie filename.

e.g.

Code: Select all

movie.mkv
movie-poster.jpg
You can use the artwork script to fetch artwork after organizing all the files:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5#p205


2.
In "Folder Mode" (use link-drop when dropping folders) you can rename folders as a single unit. In this case you won't be able to rename both folder and file inside that folder at the same time though.
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
