FileBot

So i have a script setup in the GUI. and it's all on one line. in windows 10.
but i have a few thousand files to name and organize. is there a way to run a command line to do this faster without having to manually drag and drop several into the window? will parts of my script need to be changed.. or?

If your format is slow, then it's not going to be any faster if you run filebot on the command-line.


Why not drag and drop everything in one go and then let it do it's thing?


If you're worried about UI interaction, use strict mode or select on the first choice that pops up.


Have a coffee. Come back an hour later.

So for example today I added 350 movies to the UI. About 85 I had to manually either select the correct name or skip it as it wasn't listed. 90% of those had the match as the first result.. but I don't know if it would be smart to auto select it.

What's strict mode and how do I enable it?
I'm assuming it'll only match with 100% confidence.

If you toggle to on the first choice that pops up, then it'll auto-select the first choice automatically for all subsequent choices.

Match Mode: Strict should work fairly well if all your files follow Name (Year) naming and just so happens to not require you to make choices.



Some users will use Match Mode: Strict for a quick and easy first pass, and then deal with whatever remains in a second pass with Match Mode: Opportunistic. If you have lots of relatively well-named files, this will save you a lot of time, because the first pass will take care of most things without user interaction.

Awesome I'll try that. Thank you.
