FileBot

Hello.

I discovered filebot last week. I have to say it's really brilliant!
(I used to work with MetaVideoEditor years ago and AdvancedRenamer more recently)

It's incredibly not only powerful, but also very well designed and much more user friendly than most other freeware.


I am still learning about advanced features, but I easily found how to rename my series with custom formats
The first thing I was however missing is a spinning "sign" when filebot loads the files. I.e.:
When I drag and drop 10's of folders with series (From my NAS) into filebot, I am often unsure that it's really working as I am really used that things freeze with Windows ...
It could be IMO the same spinning "sign" as the one displayed in the right pane when matching files and new names...

Also, maybe could tooltip be added on the button. It's only useful for newbies who don't know yet filebot. Ex.: "Delete selected file" on the "cross icon", "Empty list" on the "recycle icon", "History" on the "log icon", ... (Even if most icons are obvious, I have been hesitating especially when looking how to empty the list)...

Have you tried the latest build?

@see http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1868

I think I improved DnD handling when dropping folders from slow filesystems.

Oops... There is new version since last week ?

As I can't see the version anywhere, I am not sure which one I have..
So, to be sure: I did re-download the version for my Windows x64 currently available right now on the official webpage (4.2).

Once this version installed, I tried again to drop a folder with 400 episodes.
It was quite fast (for 400 items) and took only 15 seconds on my PC.
No problem there... Only that didn't see any spinning item in the left pane like this one :

I known now that nothing happens until all the items have been loaded.

Another idea could be to have a progress bar... But it's really a nice to have

1.
Windows -> Control Panel -> Software -> See versions for all installed programs

2.
The stable release from the website is not the same as the latest build -> http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1609 (it's a link, so click it)

Okido... ²

Got it... Works like a charm


NB.: Major and Minor are displayed in the install/remove programs... But not the revision and build.
I know I have downloaded beta 3... But is this visible somewhere ?
