Sorry For Basic Question, Rename Folder AND File?

Hi,

I have spent many hours on this and am really struggling to resolve this script :-(

I would like to rename the folder AND the file and then move it to the movie folder but I can only get it to rename the folder and then move the untouched filename with it

\\MEDIASERVER-PC\ServerFolders\Movie Pool/{n} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{'.'+lang}

am I far away from getting this to work?

Thanks for looking

The format you're using now will most certainly change the filename. And all the files will end up in Your Movie Pool folder.

If you drop disk folders. Or if you force folder mode when dropping files then it'll treat folders as single units. But by default it'll always process video files.

Maybe you could add some screenshots? See video tutorials to get started and see how its supposed to work.

Hi,

Many Thanks for your reply...

If I just drag and drop the file DOES get renamed correctly but it ends up in the Movie Pool without a folder.

If I ctrl shift the folder gets renamed and moved into the Movie Pool but the filename remains unchanged? Here are some screens to show you.

Thanks Again

Yes. As per your format.

You're using this format:

Code: Select all

\\MEDIASERVER-PC\ServerFolders\Movie Pool/{n} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{'.'+lang}
It seems that you want to use this format:

Code: Select all

\\MEDIASERVER-PC\ServerFolders\Movie Pool/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{'.'+lang}
See the difference? The latter defines a movie folder {n} ({y}).
