How to get the "Match" window in the brackground?

[Biff]

How can one get that window in the background, it is always on top while searching for the combinations:

[rednoah]

You can't. What are you trying to do anyway?

I doubt normal usage would ever require anyone to press the "Match" button when processing hundreds or thousands of files.

Many thanks, rednoah.

I try to rename those episode files:

I doubt normal usage would ever require anyone to press the "Match" button when processing hundreds or thousands of files.

Sorry, what does that mean? I press "Match" and after that window appears on top.

1. This is the process of renaming episode files:



2. This is the process of renaming (very) badly named episode files:


I now see why you're having trouble with the sort order, and the only reason you need to click Match is because your files don't line up with the episodes by default (which won't be an issue with r4316 and up).

See? It is VERY helpful if you give me more context as to what you're doing and why.

[Biff]

Many thanks for the instruction. Strange, I would say I had done exactly like that and tried again according to you instruction but I do not get a result like yours. After clicking "Align":



Or, is that the point I would have to match them manually? That would be very circumstantial, or am I wrong, am I missing anything?

See? It is VERY helpful if you give me more context as to what you're doing and why.

Yes, yes, indeed, sorry for the lack of information.

[rednoah]

When using TheTVDB with Airdate Order then 101 means 1x01 by default.

There is many things you could to go solve this problem:
* Replace all schxlmf-100 with schxlmf-E100 to make it clear it's EEE format and not SEE format.
* Change Episode Order to Absolute Order
* Use manual matching (though in your specific case it won't work well because the default file order doesn't match the episode order)

[rednoah]

Since I now know that you're having issues with The Smurfs a quick check at the data shows that absolute number has not been entered for most episodes and thus automatic matching (or clicking the Match button) could never have worked.



In this case, the Match button would never have given you good results, and the reason why it's taking unusually long is because it doesn't have the data (i.e. absolute numbers) it needs to find a match quickly.

[Biff]

Many thanks for testing.

OK, I would not have expected that the Smurfs would cause such problems. So, there is no way of doing it automatically, if I see it right.

To get the filenames in the correct order in FileBot would be a solution I guess. Is there a way I could rename them to get the order (increased by 1) shown in FileBot (...9,10,11...)?

[rednoah]

Use Generic File mode and use a format like this to take the first number of the filename and pad it with 3 zeros:

Code: Select all

{fn.match(/\d+/).pad(3)}

Here's the manual on that:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2072

If you need to do this more than once I recommend making a preset:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3228

[Biff]

Thank you very much, rednoah, that works.
