For me it's not happening. If I turn on Renamer, it does sort it into a folder.
I don't want to turn on Renamer, so any ideas?
Hi @JanM201
My default in MC the rename FIles or Folders is unselected.
The renaming is set to
Folders
%N\%T (%Y)
Files
%T (%y)
For Folders if the movie is part of a collection, it will create a collection folder, then the movie folder inside this, and all files pertaining to the movie will be moved into the new folder.
If not in a collection, then just the Folder will be created and all relevant files will be moved into this folder.
For Files, it just renames the files associated with the movie, whether they are in the Root folder, or in a separate folder.
You can change the renaming format to anything you like, check the legend in Movie Preferences -> Renaming/Naming tab.
Now, you do not have to rename during scraping, I don't have this set myself.
Instead, after the movie has been scraped, I right click the movie in MC Movie Browser tab, and select Rename selected movie(s) in list, and then choose either rename Movie and Folder, or just rename movie.
I hope this helps.
