I've found out you can use copy instead of rename to keep Plex links. Scan the Plex library to include the new duplicates, remove original files, rescan.

After reading this thread viewtopic.php?t=10976 i'm wondering if you could take advantage of those keeplink, symlink and hardlink functions to the effect of mass renaming your files and directories without fucking up the plex library - while avoiding the inconvenients of going through a copy.

I think this is a Plex question best asked in the Plex forums.

My educated guess would be that Plex, like most software, would be oblivious to symlinks and hardlinks and treat them like any other file, especially hardlinks, because plain files are always technically hardlinks.

Thanks a lot, seems to be working well !

Hardlinks are straight amazing, wow. I can have a windows folder by director and another by title, all that without losing space. Man, this is ridiculously good.
