FileBot

Alrighty.

I'm going to throw this out there and see how far I get with it. I have a few hundred videos that were already renamed years ago with therenamer and so each has a text file in the folder with it that says the old name and the new name. I'm curious about getting the old names back first and then running them through filebot just as if I never used therenamer.

The catch is therenamer has no revert option. So I'm wondering if there is a way filebot could take these log files and process them? I'll send an example or two through pm. Then the other thing I have to figure out is what I'm doing with all the other files in the folders, which is kind of clutter now. I'll think about that one.


Thank you in advance.

You can drag in text files, but it's not gonna work since you can't apply formats to text but you'll need to filter at least "Old:" out of the file.

Best option for that is a script. It's probably possible to make a format work with this as well like i do with grabbing names from an CSV files.

Example for reading CSV files in a format expression:
