The most important issue with it is that it seems to terminate the run, so that the other files in the directory that could have been properly renames without a conflict fail to do so. I would like to have an option though in addition to tell filebot to overwrite the file with the same name (needed to properly deal with torrent propers)

Added another option for this to r946: --conflict override|skip|fail

thanks for the quick work. New version works perfectly.

You may want to add a link to the latest jar folder to the main download page or add a testing page with a link off of the main site.

Hi,

I downloaded the latest version of filebot (2.6) and still get the error "file already exists"... am I doing something wrong?

What's the command you're running? What's the exact error message?

Thx for the fast reply, I just downloaded the Mac OS X app bundle: FileBot_2.6.app (16MB) and run that... Don't know where to see the command...

"--conflict override" is a cmdline option useful for scripting when things are automated and continuously run without any user input.

The GUI application is the same as before. If the file already exists it'll not let you rename anything until you solve the problem.

If there's a file you already have, I guess it's like you downloaded another HD/PROPER version or something and are trying re-organize it. Especially on Mac with Automator it's pretty easy to setup automated tasks like that.

Hi,

I also face problems when the file already exists.
For example I have a series folder where some files are already named correctly.
In that case I would like FileBot to process everything and skip the ones that already exists.
This way I can just process the complete folder and don't have to single out the invalid files.

I also noticed a renaming problem on Windows regarding case sensitivity. For example if my file name contains X264, but the naming scheme would write x264 (and apart from that my file name is already correct) it also complains that the file already exists and blocks. I think the only way is to add another character to the file name and then rename it.
Maybe it would be useful to be able to remove the files from the left list so that you can continue with the rest.

Regards

1. supports that via --conflict skip|override

2. Delete files form the list by pressing DELETE. After deleting entries you can line things up again using "Match".

Ah ok actually I meant the 'file already exists' message in the GUI. I should have opened a new topic I guess. For the GUI it would also be useful to skip files (as a option).
Anyway I'm switching to CLI soon and the GUI is just a temporary measure.

I did however miss the option to use the delete key. You could add a button, since all the other functions in the GUI are mouse driven.
This solves my problem though - thanks!

Tested the upper/lower case problem. Though in my case (Windows 7 / Java 7) there will not be an error, it'll say things have been renamed. But actually nothing happens. So in my case windows seems to allow the rename operations but ignores it as the name change is not significant.
