I installed filebot_4.6.1_amd64.deb but even though I think this is supposed to be able to rename files on samba shares I can't seem to get it to see said files. I have tried everything from drag and dropping them to browsing to the files directly but once I enter the samba share filebot doesn't see anything else, no other directory etc. Example filename: smb://diskstation/disk1/Videos/TV%20Shows/Hanzawa%20Naoki/Hanzawa.Naoki.E01.720p.HDTV.x264.AAC-NGB.mkv
I don't think screenshots are needed for this (the files simply don't show up in the 'original files' once dropped) but let me know if you need anything else. My sysinfo:

I didn't dropped the smb url, I mounted the filesystem and used nautilus to drag and drop the files. I put the url because in the "how to request help" post it says "Include file paths as text" so I included an example. To reiterate, my smb share is mounted, I'm using nautilus to navigate to the files I want to rename and I'm drag and dropping them to the 'original files' pane of filebot but nothing it's being added.

I was a little confused with this so I searched and this answer came up: http://askubuntu.com/questions/343205/w ... 263#343263 but going through the /run/user/<username>/gvfs directory didn't solve anything, it was like going through the network shares access. How can I drop the files in a way that filebot could recognize it on linux? If I need another file manager I'd install it even if only be able to DnD the files in filebot.
A different file manager may be a solution if you absolutely need to use drag-n-drop. Alternatively, you could just use the Load/Save buttons to select files from the /run/user/<username>/gvfs folder within FileBot.

It seems that if you open filebot before mounting the smb share he doesn't see anything when you go to the /run/user/<username>/gvfs directory. I closed it and opened it after mounting the shares and now I can see the files
Great app btw! Saves me a lot of pain renaming shows that xbmc couldn't figure out
