AFAIK the
context menu integration is not actively maintained and may or may not work. Unless you can figure out how it works by yourself, it's probably not something you want to be using.
Hmm... not to be overly snarky in my reply, but I'm a little confused by your response. I saw that you were very active in that thread, so are you saying you don't have an idea of what it does and how it works in conjunction with FileBot? I'm not really asking a "support" question, just a simple query as to how "3rd party tools", as you call them, work with FileBot.
The author of that script,
Ithiel, created it for people like me so we don't have to spend the incredible man-hours to figure out how to do something like this on our own. I'm no coder, but I've done very basic scripting stuff before (albeit with a fair amount of trial and error and research). Were I to dig into this particular script, and spend 20 or 40 hours (or more) getting to know all the ins and outs of how it all worked, I'm sure I could figure out what everything does. But beyond the fact that I don't
want to do that, I really have no
need to do that, as long as it does what it's supposed to do... which it apparently did, quite well, and thus, the only thing I have a question about now is whether or not it requires the the FileBot program to be running in the background in order to process the subtitle downloads, renaming, or however else I might want the new files in my watched folders to be processed.
Yes, you're right, I could have sent
Ithiel a PM or asked my question in that particular thread (I figured it would unnecessarily clutter that thread, being something that I thought most everyone else there already knew the answer to — thus, why I posted a new thread). And I may end up doing one of those things now. Or I could've taken the (admittedly relatively small amount of) time to test it out both with FileBot running and with it not running, to learn for myself what's required. My thinking was just that with all the people active in that thread, somebody here on this forum could more quickly and easily answer what seemed to me to be a simple (and yes, stupid) question.
