![]() Same applies to the unknown file content. You can simply chain the rename modifiers for every month and thereby get your wanted result. ![]() reviationsįirst cut out the month of the normalized date (look at my former answer to mgerity for information how) and then use the "rename" modifier to replace the number with a string literal of your choice. You have to use the modifiers (I feel like repeating myself a lot during the last days.). "Īlso is there a way to suppress the "unknown file content" substitution, if the date cannot be detected? When extracting characters from the FirstFileContentDateNormalized variable, it creates some very weird looking file names, if it cannot find a date. Is there any way to convert the month to MonthLiteral in the output for %FirstFileContentDateNormalized%? I would like my output filename to be in the format ". Maybe because my files are using APE tag ? That said, I also have files without tags.Ĭurrently I'm using file2folder, but it's semi-automatic. I tried to move files using tags associations, but it didn't work ("unknown album"). ![]() Unfortunately, the only "reliable" variable in my filenames is the track number. I even tried regex values like \d without luck. I don't know how to use modifiers for dropit to fetch all characters from the beginning to the second " - " (just before track number) I succeeded to put files in a folder "Bestartistindaworld " but I was unable to create a folder named "Bestartistindaworld - so great album". My goal is to put all files from one album in a folder whose name is the album name.īestartistindaworld - so great album - 01 - title of the year.mpcīestartistindaworld - so great album - 02 - Johnny C bad.mpcīestartistindaworld - so great album - 03 - top10 song.mpc I began ripping my cd's thinking "I'll sort this quickly". It looks great, especially the monitoring feature I'm impatient to test !įor now, I installed it having one idea in mind : sort my music.Īt this time, my music is stored in one folder. Hope this helps anyone else with a large number of titles in a root folder.I just discovered DropIt. So the fix is to ensure there is additional identification metadata (mainly the year) added to files not in folders, or you must create and move standalone titles to folders.Īs I have 100+ TB of files this wasn't feasible.Īnyways not a huge deal as the original title is embedded in the MKV container so it's possible to fix each on by generating a report of the file system and looking for duplicates in the same folder.Īlso, the language 'bug' also persists despite forcing 'English' as the primary language. This occurrs both when manually and multi-selecting titles to fetch metadata. etc to subsequent titles and labeles them all identically and places them in the same folder. RED.mkv and Red Dawn.mkv for example), adds 'part1, part2.

Unfortunately MCM does not have sufficient safeguards in place to "do no harm" and takes liberties with its actions without proper user acknowledgement. This is PROFOUNDLY annoying if one has manually organized and renamed TV episodes in a folder and accidentally selects the folder to fetch metadata.įorce exiting out of the application still consolidates/renames the contents of the folder. Once selected, there is no way to back out. Why does the logic to move/consolidate/rename selections occur BEFORE the end user has committed to the correct title and regardless of a successful match? Ridiculous (unless of course you are Japanese)ģ. There appears to be no way to select "always use English titles from IMDB". Why does the product insist on naming foreign movies in their native language? There should be logic to restrain the metadata selection and subsequent folder creation/rename to the single item selection in the file system from the GUI.Ģ. Where "ThisIsAMovieName(Year)part1.mkv" and "ThisIsAMovieName(Year)part2.mkv" are totally unrelated to the primary movie selection. Why does the product merge similar titles that are not in folders into the same folder and rename them all without prompting for permission to do so? These are the issues I find with the product and cannot see a way to get around them:ġ. Been using the product for 2 weeks on 70+TB of MKVs all in a root directory on a NAS.
