2 Questions: Multiple CSV columns, and filename length limit
Posted: 07 May 2022, 21:46
1. I had a question about matching data in CSV files. and they work great: ItemToMatch;ReturnedResult.
but can i add other columns. - not necessarily for a practical purpose. I'm just going to switch my matches from movie name to the IMDBID - but since those aren't very informative. i also wanted to put the movie name in the csv file on that row as well. but i'm not sure if it'll cause issues with FileBot.
2. is there anyway at least for the windows 10 version of Filebot to enable (longer) filenames. - I read that the filename limitations are mostly built into programs. but with windows 10 the limit is 32,767 characters. here I found this online: In the past the maximum supported file length was 260 characters (256 usable after the drive characters and termination character). In Windows 10 long file name support can be enabled which allows file names up to 32,767 characters (although you lose a few characters for mandatory characters that are part of the name).
some of my filenames get pretty long. and it won't rename them if they are past the previous 256 character length limit so then i have to go in and cut down the folder names until it gets past that limit. its a pain with hundreds of files. haha. Also you have to enable that long file names in the registry. i'll just post the link to the page on how to enable it. but if we could get filebot to support that as windows now does. and i'm guessing linux always did. that would be great.
