Here is a copy of my current code and it works well with one exception.
It will not rename files that are Nested deeper then one folder inside my 01-Downloaded folder.

ex.: Script will process movie flies in /Users/aaaaa/Downloads/Transmission/Movies/01-Downloaded/ and in /Users/aaaaa/Downloads/Transmission/Movies/01-Downloaded/Conan/
but not if files are located in /Users/aaaaa/Downloads/Transmission/Movies/01-Downloaded/Conan/2012/

How can I have it work for all movie files located in all folders nested in /Users/aaaaa/Downloads/Transmission/Movies/01-Downloaded/

I was certain that the * tag I have would do this.

Code: Select all

/Applications/Utils/Filebot.app/Contents/MacOS/filebot -rename /Users/aaaaa/Downloads/Transmission/Movies/01-Downloaded/* --format "/Users/aaaaa/Downloads/Transmission/Movies/{n} {y}" --db IMDb -non-strict

Thanks for the help.

Let's see...

Code: Select all

filebot -help

Maybe the -r option?

Code: Select all

-r                                     : Resolve folders recursively

Thanks that did it.
New to scripting but want to learn more. Recommend any website or paper reading material to start with?

Well, this is really just how to use the terminal, i'd barely call that scripting. Try google and see what comes up.
