Filebot order of operations?

[nzdreamer55]

Hello,

I am using the AMC script to process files. Just recently I had a lot of files to process that needed to be extracted from .rar files. Filebot started extracting them, however I ran out of disk space and filebot could not continue extracting the files. It renamed the files that it had extracted. Is there a way to set Filebot to work through 1 file completely from extraction, ID, and rename before moving on to the next file?

No, the amc script does not allow a workflow like this. But, if you make a shell script that makes a new filebot/amc call for each archive/file then you effectively get the behaviour you are looking for.

This might be over my head. How would I limit the amc script to just 1 archive/file in a folder that has many?

Again, shell scripting, by passing only one file per folder to the amc script. Though the previous suggestions of 1-call-per-file is probably a lot easier.

Time to learn how to use the find command:

From the examples:

Code: Select all

find . -type f -exec file '{}' \;

You will find many many many more examples if you Google around a little bit.
