Custom Field (To Use for Renaming) - Carl314 - 2019-04-30

Could you consider adding a custom field, and a corresponding token for the renamer to access that field?

I would like to have the ability to preface folder names for specific movies (in this case, Marvel Cinematic Universe) with a token MCU01, MCU02, etc, as that will faciliate sorting the movies in proper order for a Kodi playlist. Sets are already being used (Iron Man, Captain America, etc), so that is not an option.

Currently, I have manually added the appropriate prefix to the folder names, but the problem is that it requires remembering never to rename the movie with the renamer. Putting the info into a field will avoid this problem.

Thanks, Carl.

we have a fr for an additional notes field -> could this solve your requirement too?

If the note field has a token to use for the renamer, then yes - that would work perfectly.

Thanks, Carl.

Just curious if there is any update on this feature. It would be pretty useful right now, as my manually-renamed movie folders did get automatically renamed.

Thanks, Carl.

Thank you so much for adding this feature - it works perfectly on my end!

Cheers, Carl.
