Separating movies and collections

Hi there, new to this filebot app, I was using media companion but after it screwed up my media library something awful, never again.
Running the latest version on W10 x64
I'm trying to keep all the movie collections in one folder and the rest sorted into alpha folders.
I followed the forum posts and think this is right, but gives me a weird error instead of working...
Code: Select all
d:/Movies/{any{Collection}{"($y) $n.colon(" - ") ($vf)"}}/{n =~ /^(?i)[a-z]/ ? n[0] : '#'}/{n.colon(" - ")} ({vf}) ({y})

Please take a screenshot. I'm curious what a
weird error looks like.
This should be more or less the format you were thinking of:
Code: Select all
Movies/{az}/{any{collection}{plex[1]}}/{plex[2]} [{vf}]

I'm not much into coding so yeah, it's weird to me

Strictly speaking, bindings are case-sensitive.
I recommend using them as documented:

Please can someone point out what I am doing wrong...
Code: Select all
d:/Movies/{az}/if({any{collection}{{plex[1]}){/{plex[1]}/{plex[2]} {- pi}[{vf}]}}} else {{/plex[1]}/{plex[2]}}}
I'm trying to use 2 different naming schemes depending on if the movie is in a collection or not.
I was using the naming scheme provided earlier, but it ends up with the movies all falling under the collection folder if in a collection and in a folder without a collection.

1.
Use the
Format Editor and start with something simple:
Code: Select all
any{collection/plex.name}{plex.tail}
2.
Your format has many issues. Please have a close look at the examples and documentation, and build your format step by step.

Code: Select all
Movies/{any{'Movie Collections/'+collection+'/'+plex[1]+'/'+plex[2]} {az+'/'+plex[1]+'/'+plex[2]}} [{vf}]
