Hi vbat99,
I'm using an older version (3.585b) for many years now, it has done all that I need it to. (Re naming, adding recorded audio format and downloading art), however the last two times that I used it to scrap from the command line it has renamed all the movie files with the same name! The folders maintain their correct names. Do you have any idea why this would happen? This tinge the name used for all movies is "American beauty".....

P.S. I have now downloaded the latest version of MC. To retain all my previous version settings do I only need to copy over the "settings" folder from the old version in to the new version root folder?

3.585b was a number of versions ago, and a lot has changed, including improvements with the renaming code.

Since your talking about a large jump from 3.585b to the latest 3.649b, you can go about this two ways.
1. (Recommended).
Start fresh. Don't copy your settings folder.
Why I suggest this is due to a number of code and preferences changes that have happened. This will ensure you have no problems.

2. Copy over only your config.xml file.
Fire up the new Media Companion once. shut it down.
Copy the config.xml from old Media Companion Settings folder, to the new MC's Settings folder. Overwrite the existing config.xml in the new MC folder.
Start Media Companion again. When it is fully open. close it once again. - This will allow new settings to be saved to your config.xml file.
Start MC again, and do a Refresh All for Movies and TV. - This will rebuild the movie and tv cache.xml files.

If option two fails. Just delete the Settings folder and restart Media Companion. It will create a new folder and new config.xml file. You will then have to set up Media Companion as to your preferred settings.

Hope this is of help.

Rob.
