[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 974866, member: 111675"] Hi there, I am trying to get round to sorting out the mass of files on my server and was wondering how people deal with the renaming process. I currently have a folder for "MP Recordings" (my default recording folder), one for "Series" (linked to MPTVSeries) and one for "Movies" (linked to Moving Pictures). At the moment, I have the really laborious task of identifying invidividual episodes of a series in the "MP Recordings" folder, double clicking on the associated xml file to find out which season and episode it is, deleting the xml file and then renaming the file in the in the "nameofseries,SXEX" format. I then have to drag the file from the "MP Recordings" folder to the "Series" folder. This is a fantastically slow process and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to speed the process up. My ideal program/plugin would automatically scan the "MP Recordings" folder and locate anything that was part of a series or movie. It would then rename the file in a format that was acceptable to MPTV Series or Moving Pictures. It would then automatically send the file to either the "Series" or "Movies" folder. Even better, it would update the associated XML file and move that too, so I can use TV Wishlist. Is there anything out there that even remotely approaches being able to do this? If not, how do you guys deal with keeping your files in order? Thanks Alex [/QUOTE]
