FileBot

Normally I do symlinks for FB to rename

then just open them up in filebot

but it now keeps defaulting to my home folder instead of the last opened folder how can I get it to go back to using last open folder as default path to open ?

Ideally as a feature request if its possible to add in a symlinking function that would also make life quicker
as I rather keep files the same for seeding then have everything renamed for kodi as symlinks

current preset is if their was a way to generate a symlink output on the fly with renaming function that would be fantastic

tho sometimes I still need to make my own symlinks and do basic renaming for system to ID them correctly anyhow

You mean to say that when you use the "Load" button the file dialog that opens up doesn't show the folder where you last selected a file? You can run filebot -script fn:preferences to see your stored preferences so you can check what FileBot remembers as the previously opened folder. The file dialog will always navigate to the folder (if it exists) so what you seem to be asking for is default behaviour already and remains unchanged.


FileBot can symlink files, hardlink files, reflink files, etc. See Custom Rename Action for the complete list of options. You mean to say that symlinking doesn't work after you configure FileBot to symlink instead of rename?
