Linkdrop folder mode doesnt work with episodes?

[bounce]

Hi there!

Just discovered filebot and like it very much! Thanks a lot. But shortly after usage a question arised:
How can I "ignore" the naming of the files and move folders? Notice that the folder mode alone cant solve this; what I had in mind was the following:

old: D:\tvshows\name[group]\*.*
new: D:\tvshows\name{e.g. according to imdb.com}\name[group]\*.*

So basically I do not only want to keep the all files in the folder, but also keep the original foldername.
Using the file mode it is possible with

Code: Select all

D:\tvshows\{n}\{folder.name}\{fn}

to change it, but here all files which cant be detected arent moved.

thx in advance!

edit: the folder mode doesnt work for tvshows? At least anidb, etc. pp. wont retrieve any information

Nope, folder-mode just deals with folders as if they were files, so if the folder is just called "Alias" then it can't make sense of that as an episode.

So FileBot deals with Episode files, not Series folders. So unless you have folders per episode folder-mode won't help you.

Thanks for the quick response!
Since foldermode won't help me, my second attempt seems to be better:

Code: Select all

D:\tvshows\{n}\{folder.name}\{fn}

Is there any way to move the non-media/not-detected files too?

Yes, but only for files that match your episode / movie files.

e.g.
Avatar.avi
Avatar.eng.srt
Avatar.xml
Avatar.xyz

Should automatically be moved as expected. That won't work with other random clutter, but then that I would just regenerate.
