The folder structure in your screenshot could be created by a format that starts with this:

Code: Select all

O:/{n}/...

... refers to the rest of the format. If you copy & paste this format literally then each file will be named ... which clearly makes no sense.


Format expressions are really not that hard to understand. It's just file paths and variables.


e.g. What do you think will happen if you use these formats? Play with it until you understand how it works:

Code: Select all

O:/{n}/Constant Name

Code: Select all

O:/{n}/{n} - Episode {sxe}

As specified by your format. FileBot will do exactly what you tell it too, even if that doesn't make much sense.
