Hi, I am really, really NOT good at this stuff. Very limited knowledge about tech stuff, so would really appreciate help.

When I rename a file it moves it to Z:\C\Users\NAME\Media\Movies. I don't want it to move and I found some directions but I don't understand how to do it.

Could anyone help?

Where do you want files to move? Set your format accordingly.

e.g.

Code: Select all

X:/Media/{plex}

Please read FAQ #1 and learn how format expressions work.

I'm sorry, I just don't know how to get this to work. What I do is download stuff to Z:. I want to rename it and keep it there because I then copy the file to my backup external hard drive. Then I cut/paste it to my Movies/Shows folder.

I tried this: I clicked match, on the bottom clicked format. I want to rename it and keep it there. What I want to do is then copy the file to my backup external drive, then I cut/paste it into the correct Movies/Shows folder. I want it renamed.

I changed to Z:\. I drop a file in, match it, then when I click rename it says this about a conflict: https://i.imgur.com/1bj843Q.jpg

I skip it, rename it, it says this the destination path already exists. I skip. It still moves it to Z:\C\Users\NAME\Media\Movies.I don't want this C: thing, it's a lot of unnecessary clicks.

I have limited tech knowledge. Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong?

Ok I messed around and clicked to change it to this: {n} - {s00e00} - {t}. I

I don't know what that is but it kept my files where they are renamed every episode. It kept them separated by season folders but it didn't rename the folders. Is there something I can change that does this but also names folders?

(Can I just be honest and tell you all I've got a mental disability? I suck at tech shit. Need help, much appreciated.)

I recommend using this custom format:

Code: Select all

Z:/Media/{plex}

Posted: **06 Jan 2021, 02:16**

Ok I entered it like this:

I click Use Format.

I drag a movie in, match it, and it puts in in the Z:\C\Users\NAME\Media\Movies

I don't want it moved to the Z:\C\...thing, can I stop that?

You need to configure Z:/Media/{plex} as both Episode Format and Movie Format. You have configured Z:/Media/{plex} as Episode Format, but Movie Format which remains unchanged and misconfigured to whatever you pasted in there last time.

Use the ← ... → on the lower left to switch to Movie Format and then configure Z:/Media/{plex}.

Thank you very much for helping me but I don't think I can get it working. Sorry if what I want isn't a thing but I tried to say I wanted it to rename the files/folders and not move them from Z:\. I want to rename them then copy/paste one to my backup hard drive.

So I put it like this:

But doesn't the top show it moves them into my entire Plex folder for Movies? I was hoping not to move them.

Yes. This format will organize files into the recommended file and folder structure. Please do that. If you want to do something different, then it'll get technical, which we'll want to avoid in this case.

For Movies I Use

I use this mask to rename movies in current folder (in plex structure) without moving them.

Code: Select all

{folder}/{n.colon(' - ').replaceAll(':',' - ').replaceAll(/\u0022/, '\'').replaceAll(/[:|]/, '.').replaceAll(/\p{InCombiningDiacriticalMarks}+/, '').replaceAll(/\u2013/,' - ').replaceAll(/\?/,'')} ({Y}){folder.name.upper()+'/'+f.name.upper() =~/3D/?' [3D]':''}{'.Pt'+pi}{'.['+vf}{'.'+hd}{'.'+bitdepth+'bit'}{'.'+vc}{'.'+any{source.lower().upperInitial()}{'None'}+']'}{'.['+channels}{'.'+ac+']'}{f.name.upper() =~/RIFFTRAX/? '.'+any{audioLanguages+'Rifftrax'}{'[Unknown, Rifftrax]'}:'.'+any{audioLanguages}{'[Unknown]'}{audioLanguages}}{audioLanguages.size() > 1 ? '.[Multi Audio-'+audiolanguages.size()+']' : null}{subt}

I use this mask to rename movies and create movie folder in current parent folder structure (in plex structure but fix movie folder to match movie).

Code: Select all

{folder.dir}/{n.replaceAll(/^\s*(?:The|An|A)\s+/).replaceAll(':',' - ').replaceAll(/\u0022/, '\'').replaceAll(/[:|]/, '.').replaceAll(/\p{InCombiningDiacriticalMarks}+/, '').replaceAll(/\u2013/,' - ').replaceAll(/\?/,'')} ({Y}){folder.name.upper()+'/'+f.name.upper() =~/3D/?' [3D]':''}\{n.colon(' - ').replaceAll(':',' - ').replaceAll(/\u0022/, '\'').replaceAll(/[:|]/, '.').replaceAll(/\p{InCombiningDiacriticalMarks}+/, '').replaceAll(/\u2013/,' - ').replaceAll(/\?/,'')} ({Y}){folder.name.upper()+'/'+f.name.upper() =~/3D/?' [3D]':''}{'.Pt'+pi}{'.['+vf}{'.'+hd}{'.'+bitdepth+'bit'}{'.'+vc}{'.'+any{source.lower().upperInitial()}{'None'}+']'}{'.['+channels}{'.'+ac+']'}{f.name.upper() =~/RIFFTRAX/? '.'+any{audioLanguages+'Rifftrax'}{'[Unknown, Rifftrax]'}:'.'+any{audioLanguages}{'[Unknown]'}{audioLanguages}}{audioLanguages.size() > 1 ? '.[Multi Audio-'+audiolanguages.size()+']' : null}{subt}

I use this mask to rename and move movies after i downloaded them to move them to cleaned folders. You can just change the folder and drive upfront as needed.

Code: Select all

D:\BitTorrent\Renamed_Cleaned\Movies {folder.name.upper()+'/'+f.name.upper() =~/3D/?' 3D':''}\{n.replaceAll(/^\s*(?:The|An|A)\s+/).replaceAll(':',' - ').replaceAll(/\u0022/, '\'').replaceAll(/[:|]/, '.').replaceAll(/\p{InCombiningDiacriticalMarks}+/, '').replaceAll(/\u2013/,' - ').replaceAll(/\?/,'')} ({Y}){folder.name.upper()+'/'+f.name.upper() =~/3D/?' [3D]':''}\{n.colon(' - ').replaceAll(':',' - ').replaceAll(/\u0022/, '\'').replaceAll(/[:|]/, '.').replaceAll(/\p{InCombiningDiacriticalMarks}+/, '').replaceAll(/\u2013/,' - ').replaceAll(/\?/,'')} ({Y}){folder.name.upper()+'/'+f.name.upper() =~/3D/?' [3D]':''}{'.Pt'+pi}{'.['+vf}{'.'+hd}{'.'+bitdepth+'bit'}{'.'+vc}{'.'+any{source.lower().upperInitial()}{'None'}+']'}{'.['+channels}{'.'+ac+']'}{f.name.upper() =~/RIFFTRAX/? '.'+any{audioLanguages+'Rifftrax'}{'[Unknown, Rifftrax]'}:'.'+any{audioLanguages}{'[Unknown]'}{audioLanguages}}{audioLanguages.size() > 1 ? '.[Multi Audio-'+audiolanguages.size()+']' : null}{subt}

In time you will move away from the simple {plex}, so you might as well take the plunge now.
