Say I want to move highest-rated 250 movies that are scattered across C, D, and E drive to F drive.
How can I achieve this?
- No sub-folder for each movie
- Many movies have external subtitle files
- Use a central Actor thumb folder and a central Movie Set Artwork folder
No, MC does not support moving movies between root folders, or different drives.
For one, I, and I mean MediaCompanion in this, do not want to be responsible for loss of data, which can occur.
Two, how is MC to know which root folder or drive the movie belongs to.
Three, It's not MC's responsibility to organise or re-arrange files.
Media Companion is a Scraper for XBMC/Kodi first and foremost, with some folder and file renaming functions. Moving of Movies across Root Movie Folders will not be incorporated into Media Companion.
Problem solved. Found out copying filtered movies is already supported via "Export Selected Movies" context menu command. It copies not only movie file but all files with the same filname (nfo, external subtitles, and image files) as well, which is exactly what I wanted. The only remaining issue was deleting those files from the original folder after copying, but tons of file managers can handle such task.
