I still have hundreds of shows that maintain their {n} format, so I'd like to run them through FileBot again to scrape TVDB for {ny}.
example
Code: Select all
{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{s00e00} - {t} --> {ny}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{s00e00} - {t}
Is there any way I can display the parent path(s) for the Original Files side?
Since the FileBot GUI can't accept folders to rename while ignoring the contents, I'm going at this in a round-about way. If I simply add my series folders, it will want to read the contents and process ALL my episodes, which would just be a waste of time. As a work-around, I copied all my series folder names and used them to create dummy directories. Each dummy directory has 1 file (just enough to run it through FileBot) and is laid out as: {n}\s01e01.mkv
I am going to add all these dummy directories to Filebot and process the files to "SeriesNameFixed\{ny}.mkv". Once FileBot outputs {ny}.mkv, I'm going to copy the filename (minus the extension), and then rename my series folders using the generated {ny} names. Pretty straight-forward, I just need to source the {ny} names first.
*** Update ***
I was able to get around the lack of path by changing my dummy filenames from {n}\S01E01.mkv to {n}.S01E01.mkv. I thought FileBot would consider the {n} as an episode {t}, but it seems to work just as-well as {n}\S01E01. This will suffice for my little project, but I am still curious if there is an option to display the path in the Original Files section of the GUI.
