Ability to skip files already processed (not AMC)

[nathan323]

Hi all. Great program

I've got a custom renaming/tagging batch file that uses FileBot command line arguments. I want it to skip files already processed (in the same way I noticed the AMC script has "--def excludeList" option).

Does FileBot have this option in the CLI?

If it doesn't, I was thinking I could do it elsewhere in the batch file, but passing the filename of each processed file to a text document sounds tricky and complicated in cmd.exe..

1.
--def excludeList a special option for the amc script. There is no equivalent for simple -rename calls or other scripts.


2.
find -exec would make it easy to select files created or modified after a certain point in time. There might be an easy solution with PowerShell or Bash. You can also write your own Groovy script.

If you try this with CMD you will fail and it will take your sanity.

Haha, yeah I hear ya.

Just to be clear, find -exec is only avaible in AMC also? Couldnt find reference to it anywhere.

find is a very useful standard Unix command: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4788
