MAC: Renaming gets the volume name

[zone]

Hello,
I'm trying to rename films on my external disk, the directory is: /Volumes/Moon/Film/
Almost every time, regardless the film name, I get the same name suggestion: the film Moon (2009, Duncan Jones). It seems that the volume name is not stripped off by the name before analyze it.

Unfortunately I cannot rename the volume and symbolic links are not working. I don't have enough space in the root volume to move all my films there.

Any hint?

Thank you.

How would I know that "Moon" is a volume name?

EDIT: r1847 should work better for your case

Hello,
on Mac, every directory in the /Volumes folder is actually the volume name, and should be stripped off.
What do you mean with r1847?
Thank you.

I found the r1847. I'm going testing it, thank you.

Same behavior.

Oh, I see the code. I understand what you mean when you ask me how can you see that Moon is a Volume.
It seems that you consider two folders back in the path, so I tried:
/Volumes/Moon/Film/zambezia.avi -> Moon (2009)
/Volumes/Moon/Film/Cartoon/zambezia.avi -> Film (2011)
/Volumes/Moon/Film/Cartoon/tmp/zambezia.avi -> Zambezia (2011) CORRECT!
Maybe a simple solution could be giving the opportunity, with a checkbox in the configuration, to consider the file name itself, without considering any folder name.
Thank you for what you're doing, the project is awesome.

Options are not as great as you think, if it doesn't work out of the box 90% of people will give up immediately.

Can't reproduce the issue. This is what I get with r1848:

Code: Select all

Auto-detect movie from context: [D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST\Volumes\Moon\Film\zambezia.avi]
[COPY] Rename [D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST\Volumes\Moon\Film\zambezia.avi] to [D:\workspace\output\Zambezia (2012).avi]
