FileBot

I have the following format:

E:/Movies/{ny}/{original}

The folder is created corretly but the filename ends up being just ".mkv" - how do I use the orinal file name?

FileBot 4.8.5

Thank you.

Why does https://www.filebot.net/naming.html suggest that {original} is a valid token?

fn = current filename
original = the "fn" if renamed AND has this data in xattr aka metadata

{original} refers to the original filename before any renaming with FileBot, as stored in the net.filebot.filename xattr field when the file was renamed with FileBot for the first time:

Hence, on first rename, {original} is always undefined.
