[Solved] Rename folders only

[tooviral]

Hello have used the rename all script viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5#p2211 and it works great.

Only issue i have is I would like to rename folders with "The", "A" and "An" at the end of the folder.

Just can't wrap my head around adding this http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=211 so it works.

Any help appreciated.

Learn how to use formats:
http://www.filebot.net/naming.html

Then look at the example:

The Avengers => Avengers, The

Code: Select all

{n.sortName('$2, $1')}

If you're using the command-line for the first time then you want to read this as well:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1899

ok, so where would I add

Code: Select all

{n.sortName('$2, $1')}

to

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:renall "path/to/movies" -non-strict --db TheMovieDB --def target=folder

??

The --format option is well-documented. Which part did you not understand, how can we make the documentation better?

Alright I understand that you prob get annoyed by people asking to get spoonfed the answers. But I've looked around the forum and website and I do find some answers, just not how to use them. No list of commandline arguments, just some examples of how to use the command line.

I've tried

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:renall "path/to/movies" -non-strict --db TheMovieDB --def target=folder -- format "{n.sortName('$2, $1')} ({y})"

And that seems to get what I want done.

Thanks

Yep, you got it~

Just pass in your own format, if you don't like the default:

Code: Select all

--format "{n.sortName('$2, $1')} ({y})"

If you're on Linux you need to be careful with $variables though. On Windows $ has no special meaning.

This is actually a somewhat serious question! If you have any ideas for improvement, I'm all ears.
