Move files into new movie-named folders without renaming anything at all

Post by maclain533 »

Hello,

I would like to ask if somebody can tell me if filebot can do this, and how?

Current Folder Structure has all movies in one folder like this:
./Some.Movie.2010.1080p.mkv
./Some.Movie.2010.480p.avi
./Some.Other.Movie.2015.480p.mkv
./Another.Movie.2018.720p.mkv

What I want for the end result:
./Some Movie (2010)/Some.Movie.2010.1080p.mkv
./Some Movie (2010)/Some.Movie.2010.480p.avi
./Some Other Movie (2015)/Some.Other.Movie.2015.480p.mkv
./Another Movie (2018)/Another.Movie.2018.720p.mkv

Please note that:
- for easier illustration, filenames above are shown in blue, folder names are in red
- filebot should create the new red folder name and place the movie inside it without renaming anything at all. Just create a new folder and move files into it.
- if multiple copies of a same movie is found, they should go in the same folder, as in the case with Some Movie (2010)

Thank you. ;)

Sure, just adjust your custom format according to your needs:
https://www.filebot.net/naming.html

e.g.

Code: Select all

{ny}/{fn}
{ny} ... Name (Year)
{fn} ... current file name
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
