Hi!
Im trying to an simple task. :)

I have many movie folders ex.
C:\movies\1\12 Years a Slave (2013)
and
C:\movies\1\12 Years a Slave 2013 1080p Blu-ray Remux AVC DTS-HD MA 5.1 - KRaLiMaRKo

I would like to rename and store the movie folder in the same folder "C:\movies\1\" and rename it as themoviedb "12 Years a Slave (2013)" so it will rename and merge the two folders together. I dont want to change any files.

Im running this script in filebot portable:
{home}/{plex.name}/{fn}

But this doesnt get it correct. It makes folders for the nfo and artwork so it creates folders like ths:
12 Years a Slave (2013)
12 Years a Slave (2013) CD1
12 Years a Slave (2013) CD2


What simple command do i need for this task? Please help me!

Nope, FileBot will only move / rename the files shown in the preview.

If you're using the command-line then you can use --apply import to copy along sibling files:

Code: Select all

--apply import

This makes no sense whatsoever. Best to play with the command-line for a bit so you get a feel for it:

:idea: What exactly are you trying to do? If you've tried something, include full command and console output. ;)
