[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 293363, member: 56502"] Hi Jamieo, Glad you like it :) Hidden files and folders - well there's one I've not heard before! But yeah, it makes sense not to scan folders marked as hidden. It's a tiny change to do - I've just tested it so it'll be in the next release. Getting the name of the movie from the parent folder however might be tricky. It's an unusual (to me) way to store your files. At present the folder name is only used for DVD rips, where a VIDEO_TS.IFO file is found. It'll then try and find a folder name that isn't 'VIDEO_TS' or similar, and will assume that's the title. It may not be possible (or rather, not easy) to make that optional for all files. The excluded paths file is, I'm afraid, not an exluded paths file! It's for excluded [U]files[/U] only, so really can't work the way you describe. I'm guessing your folder structure is fairly complicated then, so presume you have a movie in a folder with subdirectories for associated content (like Extras as you mention). This [I]should[/I] be fairly easy to add however, but will need a bit of thought. How many folder names would you envisage excluding? Few or lots? I can easily change the folder scanning code to do a 'like' comparison against a given string or list of strings. On the other hand I worry that this could cause unpredictable imports - so %extra% would stop the import of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Not the best example I admit, but you get the idea! Let me know what you think - as always I need to balance the needs of the many against the wishes of a few! That and my free time, of course! Cheers, Orion. [/QUOTE]
