Rename based on custom sibling file?
I would like to make a data file so that Filebot could use it for file renaming, What kind of a file does it need to be? comma delimited ?
Re: What kind of file?
1.
If you want to rename files based on information contained in sibling files, then the file format is completely up to you, as you'll be writing the code that'll parse this file:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2072
Using XML / JSON / CSV / TSV files is probably a good idea, as that'll make parsing things much easier.
2.
If you're using the GUI, then you can also just generate a text file and drop it into the New Names list.
