How to stop Directory Name being taken as Series Name
Posted: 07 Aug 2015, 00:28
I know that FileBot looks at the name of the containing directory as one possibility of the Series Name, and that feature has come in handy quite a few times.
But also, a few times it is aggravating.
Example:
I have a directory "C:\Working" where I move files that are to be renamed.
Most Series Names are accurately identified by FileBot and the proper Series rename suggested.
However:
The current Series "Proof" shows up as "Proof (2015) in theTVdb, and "Proof (TNT)" in TVrage and just "Proof" on the subtitle files I get. (It seems that FileBot can get confused when the Series Name isn't standardized by the source databases).
My Problem:
FileBot keeps trying to grab the name of my "Working" directory as a component of the suggested Series names.
I have even tried manually renaming the media file all by itself, and that doesn't help.
I know I can use the Override function during FileBot's identification phase by holding down the shift button as I left-click, and then delete the suggested Series Name and replace it with "Proof (2015)", and it works fine.
MY QUESTION: Is there some name I can give the working directory that will be excluded from FileBot's search for possible Series Names??? Maybe name the working directory "C:\____" or "XOXOXO" or such?
