Need a little help

[vballrican]

Hello everyone, using the basic rename folder by folder from viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5#p2211

testing on a single series folder, it renames the files inside but not the folder...

I'm using filebot -script fn:renall d:/rename -non-strict

also, tried adding --def target=folder and that didn't work and also tried using a --db AniDB and that didn't work...

What do I need to add to make this simple rename command rename my folder as well?

thanks.

FileBot does not rename folders, but that's a stupid idea anyway. What you want is move files into a new folder structure. See FAQ #1.

Wow!! Really? Calling people's ideas stupid won't get you any donations anytime soon...at least not from me.... Maybe you should look at how you answer... maybe 'suggest' something instead of being insulting and disrespectful.

There's a 1/1000 chance you were actually gonna donate, so I'm fine. Let's correct that to "misguided" though.

You can define exactly how you want your files to be organized via the format and then FileBot will do the rest. If you then complain about left behind empty folders there's a script for that.

You're welcome to write your own script to "rename" folders, but in the end you'd implement it the same way I did, because the alternative is effectively "recycling" folders, which is stupid.


PS: I'm generally rude and disrespectful when I have the feeling someone didn't read FAQ #1 which I find rude and disrespectful.


EDIT:

What you want is move files into a new folder structure. See FAQ #1.

maybe 'suggest' something

This is me suggesting to read, contemplate, and understand, the divine wisdom that is the FAQ.

RTFM


EDIT 2:

When starting a New Topic think of a Meaningful Title

I shall add "Need help" explicitly as a bad example. But I'm sure you didn't read that post neither.

@see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1868

I've actually read a lot on your site. i've spent more time here than in any other application i use because i see the potential of filebot when I learn to use it properly or learn some scripting(not a chance)... That said, there's no need to insult the people that come here and ask for help... i'm pretty sure most of us ask for help when we have read and read and still can't figure it out or need a little tweaking. Thanks.

PS: no matter how vague or good your documentation is, users will need help...
