Failed to identify some of the following files

Post by JrGooNer »

Hi, I was messing around trying to manually rename some files a while back using instructions from the youtube video and the help here but since I did it I have been getting this error regularly Image

I think I may have confused the application by telling it that certain files were something else because it started when I was trying to do the 'hold shift and left click' thing and i never once got the correct manual rename popup, I only got errors and popups like this and now they just haven't stopped even when I'm auto renaming like this.

Your folder structure is very non-standard, so it doesn't know which parts to ignore. In this case you probably just need to click Skip. You can make it remember to Skip for this query by clicking the [1] / [ALL] toggle on the lower right.

It's not asking about 12 Monkeys because that part is probably pretty clear and it can auto-select the correct match itself. It's just asking about other potential options, which you can just ignore.

Unsurprisingly you've nailed it, I do always just skip it and it still gets the name but was wondering why it never remembered it. So if I toggle to 'all' and then go through the process of renaming, it will remember that in future right..

Yes. But I'd appreciate it if you could send me the file paths as well so I can add the "obvious folder names" to the query blacklist.

I've added a few entries for you, so it'll automatically know to ignore these kind of folder names by next week:
