Yep, I can do that... But whether I'm deleting the date or adding () in the field it's still a manual process which defeats the purpose of ViMM being a mostly automated process.
But I get what you're saying about the dates in titles (like 2001 A Space Odyssey).
Is there a way you can get it to conduct two searches, one with the date as part of the Title and a second with it as just the year of the movie (I guess there might be a situation where both those options return separate results but the Title would be a weird one)? Or maybe it could compile a selection list to present at the end of the search (similar to how the TV Show "Moved" list occurs). This could consist of a side-by-side list of the File Title and Possible Movie Options which I can go through and just select the correct one from the list of Options for each File Title before committing it and then ViMM chugs away and finishes the rest of the process with those selections.
Ah well, I guess I'm just stuck doing it all manually until you figure out a way to get that sorted.

Thanks, I tried that and it works perfectly. Never thought to use that option but now you mention it...
And, since I'm here;
I'm wondering if there is a way to make the process of adding new episodes to the TV Shows faster? Currently I use the File --> Update Metadata --> New Episodes option to get ViMM to search for new episodes. It goes to my "Temp Storage" folder and finds the files, moves them to the correct TV Show base folder, it then embarks on a life changing quest of epic proportions to search through every episode of every TV show I have stored before finally getting around to again finding the files it had earlier moved and transferring them to the correct Season folder and renaming them. As I currently have, amongst other shows, the entire set of Doctor Who (both original and modern series'), you can imagine this search takes quite some time (an entire 12+ hours at last count which does nasty things to my local network traffic situation if I need to use it). Is there a way I can just get ViMM to look in the "Temp Storage" and do it's thing to those files without the search of the entire catalogue?
