Handling duplicate show names with interactive CLI

Post by 8bithero »

As an example, let's assume we're renaming an episode of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" which has 2 associated shows, the original and the 2024 remake.

If I try to rename this using the interactive command line mode, I am presented with both options. However, it's impossible to tell which one is which as there is no other identifying information:

I need to pick one, then manually cross check it with the correct show to ensure I picked the right one.

Is there a way to modify the information presented in the "Multiple Options" command line window to include things like airdate year so that the options would be something like the following?

Code: Select all

Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005)
Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024)
It would be much easier to ensure that I'm picking the correct show from the command line interface if I was able to add more information there aside from just the name of the show.
