Just started using tMM and love it. Thanks for the great work!
I'm having a problem though, with the tv show The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Actually, tMM handles the renaming for this show just fine, but is creating a conflict with FileBot which I use to dynamically rename new recordings from the PVR (TVHeadend). When FileBot renames these files on my Linux HTPC, the folder name gets mangled into "THE MA~N". I found a resolution to this by using the FileBot replaceAll function to remove the periods, yielding a folder name of "The Man from UNCLE". That would be an acceptable solution, except that tMM has already named the folder WITH the periods, so now I wind up with two separate folders!
I'm wondering if there is, or can be, a tMM feature similar to FileBot's replaceAll function so that tMM renaming would result in the same, safer, period-free folder name?
A few additional notes:

A few additional notes:
- Yes, I will be posting a similar question to the FileBot forum.
- The real problem is probably in Ubuntu or NFS, but is likely unresolvable at that level.
- Using tMM command-line instead of FileBot would be a good idea, but there doesn't seem to be enough flexibility for renaming just a specified file in the same way. An enhancement in this area would be equally welcome.
- The replaceAll syntax is "n.replaceAll(/./)" which replaces all "." characters in n with nothing.
- Maybe another renamer would work better than FileBot? Since finding tMM, I no longer have any other use for FileBot anyway.
