After an unfortunate incident with some regular expressions I misnamed a bunch of my files. Episodes of a show (popeye) now have the right episode name, but the wrong season and episode number. It's a sad mess. Anyway, the question is: is there's a way to have filebot search by episode name instead of season and ep. #? I use the GUI because I'm not very familiar with command lines. If there's a way to do this with GUI, great! how? if there's some other way, please let me know.
Thanks!

Search By Episode name?
Re: Search By Episode name?
FileBot does match by episode titles, but episode numbers take priority if there is a conflict. Just remove SxE numbers from the filenames and FileBot will naturally match by episode titles.

Re: Search By Episode name?
Thanks for the tip! I tried removing the episode numbers just now and it didn't work. I am attaching the results. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Re: Search By Episode name?
If you have previously renamed files with FileBot they're already tagged with SxE information and that will also take precedence.
Here's a script that can clear xattr metadata:

Alternatively you can just match everything up manually (See FAQ #2):
