Hi,
Let me start of by saying that dude, you have made one brilliant software. It has literally shaved off weeks (if not months) off my categorisation. I just got my hands on it and I wondered where the hell have I been (seeing that you debuted this software years ago) I have just started renaming my 3 Tb movie library.
But I have run into a weird problem. I have successfully renamed around a Tb of films with the configuration of "$S ($Y) [$D]" and things couldn't have been smoother, today I tried to push my luck and got even more precise with the renaming and added $R to the renaming string making it "$S ($Y) [$D/$R]" That didn't work out for some reason. (I'm guessing "/" isn't supported). But to my horror, I can't roll back to the earlier configuration. And since I had checked "Keep my Folder Organized" My entire library has lost the Video source string.
Any idea what I can do? I've tried
- going back to original config - "$S ($Y) [$D]"
- Removing the preference files via Appcleaner
- Reinstalling the app
- Redownloading and reinstalling the app.
But it does not add back the Video source on my folders..
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for the immediate response guys.
Firstly, uninstalled as mentioned by Glorius1 and MariusTh86. (btw, am running Lion)
Secondly, yeah, I mean the video source tag such as DVD/Blu-Ray.
Thirdly, I tried manually adding the resolution to the finder name i.e. 1080p, 720p, etc. and have it read back in but, nope. its not working out. It wrecked even more of my folder/file names (i.e. remove the video source tag from the folder/file names) Have tried the clean command (all) Update metadata, physically searched and nuked the nfo files. No avail.
- Am working off a trial folder with a 10-12 films of various kinds just to see if its any good.
Also, In the list of films (the panel on the left hand side) and the main window, it shows me the resolution, i.e. 1080p, 720p, etc. but, IT DOES NOT ADD it to the file name. Have tried various combinations (such as "$S ($Y) [$D] $R" "$R $S ($Y) [$D]" "$S $R ($Y) [$D]" but stubbornly the resolution does not come in the filenames like ViMM is pissed with me or something..
Hope you can shed some light on the situation.

For the DVD/Blu-Ray source, you need to add 'DVD' or 'BluRay' to the filename and then probably rescrape the information, 1080p/720p should be picked up through 'mediainfo' from the media file itself.

Is there a way to manually rename a show's folder, or how it's sorted? The new show "A to Z" is getting changed to "to Z, A" which doesn't work in this case.

In ViMM you can open the 'View' Menu, scroll down to 'Sort By' and choose either ascending or descending for sort order. (A to Z or Z to A) or you can pick to sort by "sort title" and other options.

hi there,
is there an option to automatically just download the actor thumbs?
i accidentally deleted all folders of the actors thumbs and i don't want to scrape each movie again.
thx

Technically not, but you might get away with 'updating' all your movies' metadata.

You can use the 'title' instead of 'sort title' by opening the 'Preferences' window, selecting the 'movies' or 'tv shows' tab, and replacing the "$S" with a "$T" in the 'Folder/File Renaming Pattern" fields.
