I must be daft but how to move to other folder?

Post by Pitbull_Raven »

Hi all.

Such a basic thing but something must be eluding me. I am trying to get my shows to move from uTorrent dload dir to E:\Users\Username\Videos\Series. Figured I somehow have to use --action move, I think. Problem is it's creating the show folders in a sub-dir named E:\Users\Username\Videos\Series\TV Shows and I don't want that. I want the show folders created in E:\Users\Username\Videos\Series.

I have been checking sample scripts and reading around, but can't figure it out. Just can't get the output to exclude the TV Shows.

My script:
filebot -script fn:amc --output "E:\Users\Nuno Marques\Videos\Series" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def music=y pushbullet=v17p6vzVjOnWCBIp8s8X69lXernT4sEmZvuju4bIQK7cy subtitles=en artwork=y clean=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

Still haven't tested with --action move and don't even know if it'll work with uTorrent because the files are still supposed to seed after downloading.

Help greatly appreciated.

1.
Rename "Series" folder to "TV Shows". Then set --output E:\Users\Username\Videos.

2.
You cannot use --action move since uTorrent will lock the files, so they can't be moved or deleted.

I was hoping to do it the other way round. Get rid of the TV Shows and keep Series. SO I gather that the script will always add to a folder TV Shows? No chance to change that?

I gave you the easy solution.

The other less easy solution is clearly documented in the Change how files will be organized and renamed section. That's for advanced users though.
