FileBot

Anyone else looking to go back a version due to this completely messed up new Load Dialogue setup?

Its made Filebot a complete PITA to use for me now and everything takes twice as long.
In the good old days I would open a directory full of files and directories of shows, select all the TV folders and files and then it would open them and I could match them as normal.
Now I have to open purely folders and match them for tv, then I have to open files and match them for tv shows. Because I have all my TV and films in one folder ready for processing, this now means I then have to go through this process a further 2 times to do the same for movies.

I can't see how this new approach is anything but a move backwards but happy to hear any reasons why its better before I revert to an older version.

I have found I cannot rename movie files anymore. Used to click movie mode, tmdb and the icon would show processing. Now it just shows be a blank screen

Can you provide screenshots that illustrates the issue?

FileBot 4.9.2 is available, though we would prefer to identify and fix the usability issues described above:

This is the open menu and you can only open Folders or Files now.

This is atypical directory listing. It contains both files and folders but you can no longer select both files and folders and have it open everything like it used to. Now you have to select Folders, match and rename them and the go back and open files and match and rename them. Its a backwards step and means everything takes that much longer and more effort to use.

Just an FYI, if you click load and select folders, you can't see any files. If you click load and select files, you can see files and folders but if you select multiple files and folders using Ctrl and click like I used to, it will only open the files, not the files that are contained in folders. The old way was simple and way easier to use.

FileBot uses the native Windows FileDialog API by default in newer revisions. This looks and works better for most people in most use cases, but Windows itself has limitations here, such as not being able to select both files and folders at the same time.


You can configure FileBot to use a different FileDialog implementation though, so if you prefer the previous default Java Swing JFileChooser implementation then you can configure FileBot to use that like so:
