Post by leeeunchang »

i would like to rename folder
there is folder having movie file in it like

Code: Select all

J:\movie\99.Moons.2022.GERMAN.1080p.AMZN.WEBRip.DDP5.1.x264-Cinefeel\99 Moons (2022) 99.Moons.2022.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-Cinefeel.mkv
but when i do

Format: Select all

../{ny}/{primaryTitle} ({y}) {original}
it creates new folder and move files like

Code: Select all

J:\movie\99 Moons (2022)\99 Moons (2022) 99.Moons.2022.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-Cinefeel.mkv
and previous folder still exists

Code: Select all

J:\movie\99.Moons.2022.GERMAN.1080p.AMZN.WEBRip.DDP5.1.x264-Cinefeel\

:?: What files are left in the previous folder?

:idea: If files are left in the previous folder, then FileBot won't auto-delete it after generating the new file structure. FileBot will only auto-delete empty left-behind folders.


:arrow: You can enable Import companion files to move along Companion Files as well:

:arrow: Alternatively, consider organising files into a new clean file structure, and then deleting / ignoring the old one:

Format: Select all

J:/Media/Movies/{ny}/{primaryTitle} ({y}) {original}

:arrow: Alternatively, Rename Folders › How do I literally just rename folders?
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
