I have two external hard drives. One is a primary. The second is a backup. They are mirrors of one another. I have files that need renaming on both. The same exact files. I want to keep them perfectly mirrored, exact replicas -- for file referencing, xbmc linking, etc...
Is there a way to match/rename both sets of files on each hard drive??? Either simultaneously or by matching one to the other?? Any help would be appreciated.
Renaming Files on Two Hard Drives
Re: Renaming Files on Two Hard Drives
Only by doing it twice. I would just use robocopy /mir but I guess you wanna avoid delete/copy. 
Please read the Re: Renaming Files on Two Hard Drives
I have the exact same issue.
I'm new to Filebot, and am trying to soak as much info as I can about this amazing application. It's a little overwhelming!
I'm hoping to use the AMC script to be executed in uTorrent. To achieve the duplication, are any of the following strategies practical?
- editing the AMC script myself to add in the extra "rename" (copy).
- instead of uTorrent running FileBot directly, have it run AutoHotKey, which in turn would run FileBot. then AutoHotkey would pick up the new renamed filename (from somewhere) and use it to do the second copy. I'm just not sure, at this point where the new filename could be seen/picked-up by AutoHotKey.
- Added: Perhaps this is what you meant in your earlier reply. Could I run FileBot/AMC twice? Once with "--action copy", and once with "--action move", from a shell program? Would that do what I'm after?
Of course, I would vote for adding that functionality to FileBot (or AMC) in a future release!
Thanks for a great application! ...and any help you can offer

Re: Renaming Files on Two Hard Drives
Actually your case is quite different. What you want to do is have one file as input but two files as output?
Option 1: Custom rename action => http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... =280#p1750
Option 2: Use rename history to do the second set => http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... =280#p1267
And running AMC twice in a row will probably also work. Less efficient but easier to do I guess if it works.

Thanks!
I'll experiment with these.
