Folder.name don’t works by Folder renaming

[RubberX]

Hi,

I tried to rename Movie Folders but the Syntax {folder.name} give me an error from java.

Example:

Folder name original
\Watte hadde dude da\

New name after the use of “TheMovieDB” wath I want
\American Ultra (2015) [Watte hadde dude da]\

My problem is I must rename many Movie Folders but I want have the Original Name in [ ]

I tried the folder to rename with the syntax
../{n} ({y}) {[folder.name]}/{n} ({y}){' - CD'+pi}

but here was always a new folder be created and the old Files moved in.
But if I do this with more Folders Filebot does nothing.

That's why I've tried the other way and wanted to rename only the folders.

What value do you expect? Where do you exect that value to come from?

If you want to test file bindings you will need to set a sample file first.

Ok, I try to use a real example

Folder
L:\Movies\ 5.Centimeters.Per.Second.German.2007.ANiME.AC3.DVDRiP.XviD-STARS
supposed to
L:\Movies\ 5 Centimeters Per Second (2007) [5.Centimeters.Per.Second.German.2007.ANiME.AC3.DVDRiP.XviD-STARS]

but I've already found my mistake

The Syntax must be “{n} ({y}) {[fn]}”
{folder.name} brings only a value of 1

But thanks to you

1.
Just ignore the warning. If there is a folder, it'll work. If you don't set a sample file for testing, then there won't be a folder, and it won't work. Same applies to {file} and any other file based binding.

2.
When renaming folders as if they're files, then {folder} will be the folders folder, and {file} will be the folder.

3.
Have you tried setting the sample file to L:\Movies\ 5.Centimeters.Per.Second.German.2007.ANiME.AC3.DVDRiP.XviD-STARS then?

1. On my first attempt there was an example that pointed to a file.

2. Correctly that was my second mistake

3. Yes that's what I've done and then it worked. But the parent folder had the name 1. That's why I get the 1 as the value.
