How can I rename folders and files in a single process?
Q: How can I rename folders? It's only letting me rename files when I drop folders!
A: When you drop a folder into the "Original Files" area it will add all the files within that folder. Just add folders via Link-Drop (Ctrl+Shift+Drop) if you want to move/copy folders as a single unit

is it possible to do this from the command line? I am currently using this to rename a files from a button in my Directory Opus (file manager) toolbar:
C:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot -rename {F} --format "{n} ({y}) [{vf}]" -non-strict
How can I do the same for the folder that the same file currently resides in. Or even on its own, what's the command so that it only renames a folder, not a file?
Update:
I'm thinking this would work:
C:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot -script fn:renall "path/to/movies" -non-strict --db TheMovieDB --def target=folder
However I don't know how to make the "path/to/movies" dynamic. Meaning I want to run this script on the selected folder, or the parent folder of the selected file. Is this possible?

If you're using CMD then the answer is probably %1 or %* but if you need help with using the shell or cmdline or whatever then Google will be your best friend.
