Root Folder.

Post by tfonias74 »

Hello,

Is it possible to redirect the renamed file to a root folder instead of the full path X:\... Whenever I try it i always creates folder inside the one I am currently at.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know what you mean. The format can be relative and is resolved again the original file. Otherwise you can use absolute path.

Let's say this is what your format evaluates to:
Test.avi => Move to ./Test.avi
Series/Test.avi => Move to ./Series/Test.avi
../Test.avi => Move to ../Test.avi (../ means one folder level up)

There is no path that can't be defined via the format.

EDIT: if you're using relative paths like ../ there may be a bug with the old release, so you could try the latest revision from head.

Whenever I try "./" or "../" I get this..

!
When I use "/" I get a folder inside the current location..

What I need is to send it to the (X):\XXX\XXX\xxx.avi or (Y):\XXX\XXX\xxx.avi (depending on the drive that I am currently working.

Is that the latest revision? Try the latest one. I think I fixed that 2 weeks ago.

Tested with r1756 and works for me.


How about u just create an absolute path with the format?

Like this one from the samples:

Code: Select all

{file.path[0]}:/Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}){" CD$pi"}
