FileBot

Just installed ... no idea what version, can't find the help/about ... whatever is the most current download.

Anyways, new version installed, wiped out my old naming preferences so set those up again. First thing I needed renamed was the animated TV series for CLERKS.

Originally the files were named "Clerks [01]" so when I scraped TVDB all the matches on the right side were in red. Though maybe the issue, so did a quick rename to "Clerks S01E01" and the red was gone but still the same error.

IOException: The Parameter is Incorrect

I tried using default episode formats but still the same error. I tried the series ALIAS and DRACULA and works fine.

Something specific to CLERKS it seems is causing an issue but not sure what... long file name? though not all are long.

So, bug with clerks, and no help/about menu I guess would be a feature request.

1.
Run filebot with console so you can see the full error trace, and send that.

2a.
filebot -version

2b.
Start => Programs and Features => FileBot => Version

Running 4.1...

Your filesystem limits filenames to 255 characters:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... spx#limits

Either don't use {t} in the format or do something like {t.take(200)} to deal with cases where {t} is extremely long.

Strange... I figured it would rename the rest, or like when there is a ; in the name it asks for validation, thought maybe the same for shrinking.

200 char plus episode titles are extremely rare, and this issue specific to Windows anyway. On Mac / Linux there are no such limitations. Since there's an easy fix via the format, no need to pollute the code with Windows special cases.
