Multiple Movie Parts - all deleted

Hi,
I had 100 movies with multiple movie parts, like CD01 and CD02 or equal. Disk1, disk 2
They have been deleted so now I only have half movies...
I must go through the entire collection and find and delete all broken movies manually now…
How can I prevent this in the future? How can I get filebot to save split movies?
Thanks…

one part of each move was renamed and saved.. the other part was deleted when the movie was movied to the destination folder.

The problem is the rename process, it overwrites it self because the name is the same.

If you use custom formats in combination with
--action override, then you need to make sure that your format create unique destination paths for multi-part movies, for example by using the
{pi} movie part binding in your format.
e.g. use part index in your format:
e.g. use default plex format which correctly formats multi part movies by default:

That depends on what you want. I recommend playing with the GUI Format Editor until you have a good grasp at how it works.
