hi
i was wondering how i can use the first letter of title sorting ($2 tag) properly.
as i have my movies stored now is A-Z in separate directories and everything else in "0-9"
the rule "$2\{$M\}$E ($Y)" works well as long as there's a A-Z letter of sort title ($2). eg..
A\Alien Collection\Alien - Resurrection (1997)\Alien - Resurrection (1997).mp4

now, separate dirs for 0-9 i can live with (which the above will do as well), but how could i get things like the movie ".45" (dot45) into a dir call "Other" - or anything else NOT [A-z0-9] into "Other"?

the above rule generates:-
\.\.45 (2006)\.45 (2006).mp4

i dont really want to end up with half a million dirs in the root dir containing one film named after odd chars at the start of the title. that make sense? :-)

thanks,
chris

You are right
Never used that, but yes, there are movies with non-alphanumeric characters like dots or brackets in beginning of title.
Has not been thought to the end :p

For v3, we will completely rework the renamer patterns (to be more generic, self descriptive)
Will incorporate these changes there
"Other" or first alphanum character, and even a "numbers" folder makes perfectly sense.

Thanks for input

Did a quickfix for next v2, to take the first alphanum character
Should be sufficent for now...
