How do i rename a movie collection to retain its main folder

Hello , its my first time using filebot . I need some help with my format .Currently I am using a very simple format to get things done ( i am using the filebot GUI )

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\GD\renamed/{ny}/{ny} - {vf}

This is working great for single movies which have 1 folder and single/multiple quality files respectively within that folder

But when i use this format for a movie set , it doesn't work as intended for eg.
Lets say when i use this format for batman trilogy folder in source ,then in the destination it directly moves the inner 3 folders of the movie set . I want it to also retain the outer movie set folder . In this instance the 3 batman movies get renamed + moved directly in my movies folder and the batman trilogy outer folder from source is not retained. Its causing all the movie sets to get individually mixed with all other single movies

Can someone please suggest a change in my format which will work good for both single movies and movie sets as well

You could move files based on the current {folder} location:

Code: Select all

{folder}/{ny}/{ny} - {vf}

Alternatively, you could group movies based on movie {collection}:

Code: Select all

X:/Media/Movies/{collection}/{ny}/{ny} - {vf}
