I assume this is very basic or not possible which is why I cannot find a way to do it...

I have a folder that is (I use Emby for NFO and artwork):

Code: Select all

Alien/
Alien/Alien.mkv
Alien/Alien.nfo
Alien/artwork.ext

Can I simply RENAME to the following without a new folder being created?

Code: Select all

Alien (1979)/
Alien (1979)/Alien (1979).mkv
Alien (1979)/Alien (1979).nfo
Alien (1979)/artwork.ext

When I use {n} ({y})/{n} ({y}), I get the desired result but I end up with a leftover folder of Alien/Alien with all of the artwork and then Emby has to scrape all artwork again

In this particular case, a 2 step approach is necessary. First rename the folders, then rename the files inside the folders.

Step 0: Change format to a simple filename-only format (i.e. rename not move)

Code: Select all

{ny}

Step 1: Rename Folders (Link-Drop folders to process the folder as a single item, instead of all the files inside the folder)

Step 2: Rename all the files within each folders. By default, FileBot will process video / nfo files but ignore artwork / extra files.
