how do I set {home}?

Post by megaabite »

my movies are not stored in c:\Users\[user]\...

also, already have a number of very basic questions which are not answered by FAQ or videos that i have watched so far.
is there a manual somewhere?

sorry. that was really dumb. don't have to actually use {home}...

now...how do you say "Go". got the location and format I like but cannot get FileBot to actually do the move.

clicked Rename button but nothing happened.

1.
{home} is your $HOME folder as defined by the operating system. It can't be changed.


2.
You need 64-bit Java. Alternatively, getting FileBot from the Windows Store will just work regardless of whether or not you've set up Java correctly on your machine.

visited the Windows Store - "This app does not work on your device."

this means that FileBot only works on Windows 10?

The Windows Store works only on Windows 10, but FileBot works on older machines, anything that runs Java 8.
