Forgets Preset Each Time
Forgets Preset Each Time
Every time I open the app, my only preset gets forgotten, so I have to set it again.
This is especially annoying because you can't set it until you have media loaded and when you set it, it tries to search for the media match when you've already got the match. It's a mess!
Can someone tell me how to set a preset as the default behavior?

EDIT:
Just to confirm. We are talking about the FileBot ➔


Re: Forgets Preset Each Time
Yes, it’s Presets. They don’t delete, so it’s not that. They are just not set when I open the app. I have to select it each time and then that causes more things to go wrong. How can I just set it as a default?

Re: Forgets Preset Each Time
Oh, that’s the issue. I just want to open the app, put a file in the left side, add an episode on the right side and click rename.
I don’t want to have to select the preset each time. When I do, it erases the right side and attempts to search (which it usually gets wrong). Then I have to add the right side al over again.

Re: Forgets Preset Each Time

You can do that. We call it Manual Matching as opposed to automatic matching which happens when you click on a Preset or any of the Fetch Data actions.


Re: Forgets Preset Each Time
Hi, yes sorry!
Step 1: Open the app
It's not letting me paste a screenshot (or I don't understand how.. I usually just copy and paste into forums)
Step 2: Add the media on the left side
Step 3: Go to Episodes
Step 4: Paste the name of the show
Step 5: Choose the episode and click Send to > Rename
Step 6: Click Presets > Choose the only one (which is the default naming scheme that I want)
Suddenly, the work I did in Step 5 gets cleared and I have a popup that I have to close out of
Step 7: Choose the episode and click Send to > Rename
Step 8: Match
I just wish there was a way to rename my media faster.

EDIT: If the custom format set in a Preset effects Episode objects loaded in via the Episodes tool, then that would be a bug, and not intended behaviour. I cannot reproduce this bug with the latest version of FileBot though. Are you using the latest version of FileBot? Please post System Information so that we can confirm which version of FileBot you are using.
EDIT 2: I played around with it and I can now see what you're doing. It "works" but it's a bug and not intended behaviour. We will fix that. FileBot should use the default Episode Format for Episode objects loaded in via the Episodes tool, and not whichever custom format lingers in memory from the last-used Preset.


Re: Forgets Preset Each Time
Ok, I think you're right. Perhaps the goal is to skip the Episodes tool. I just tested your suggestion above and this is a bit better.
Step 1: Open the app
Step 2: Add the media on the left side
Step 3: Go to Episodes
Step 4: Paste the name of the show
Step 5: Choose the episode ➔ Send to ➔ Rename
Step 6: Double-Click <New Names Item> ➔ Edit Format ➔ Use Format
Step 7: Match
Is there no way to just set the default naming scheme so I can skip Step 6?

Re: Forgets Preset Each Time
This will permanently set the default Episode Format. You can therefore skip this step once you have already set your preferred format.
Re: Forgets Preset Each Time
Oh! That solves my issue!
I couldn’t figure out how to permanently save this preference.
Thank you for the guidance!
