[QUOTE="jamieo, post: 293533, member: 53052"] Hi, thanks for your reply. :) I agree that automatically using the folder name may be hard to implement. However, I was thinking a more simple option that if enabled would simply use the parent folder name for the film title instead of the filename. It would do this blindly for all files so no fancy logic would be required. I've actually just wrote a script for amc that will do this for me afterwards, the main line of which just replaces whatever is in the Title field with the parent folder name as can be seen below: [I][COLOR="SeaGreen"] // The part in blue is just a long winded way to get the parent folder name[/COLOR][/I] SetField(fieldOriginalTitle, [i][COLOR="Blue"]ExtractFileName(ExcludeTrailingPathDelimiter(ExtractFilePath[/COLOR][/i](GetField(fieldSource))))); However, this means I cannot use your program for internet lookups which is a shame as it would be nice to have the basic information already added without having to use amc. It is my hope that the info retrieved by your scripts will become as complete as amc meaning it will not be required (at all?) in future. That's exactly how my folder structure is, wrt the 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' I would imagine defining something like 'M:\films\*\*extra*\*.*' so it would only match at a certain folder depth (number of '\' characters). For a film called 'Extras' it will match 'M:\films\extras\extras\makingof.mkv' but not 'M:\films\extras\extras.mkv' . Excellent! This will at least give me an easy way to exclude stuff in lieu of the last point, any idea when your next release (or even just an exe with this change) will be available? ;) Thanks, Jamie.
