When saving movieset artwork, options are movie folder and separate folder. Any chance for an option to not save to movie folder if a central folder is used, e.g. c:\movieset artwork? Also, can we get the naming the same. Individual folders = movieset-poster, separate folder = 300 Collection-folder. I think poster works better than folder. Thanks!

One other thing (sorry), when renaming movies, any reason hyphen are removed?

Any thoughts on this?

sorry, forgot to answer...

I changed the file naming to -poster; no one complained about that in the past, so I assume the dev of the movie set artwork automator changed anything recently.

we write to the movie set folder as a kind of fallback; the whole movie set artwork topic is not in any kodi standard. That's simply solved how some devs decided to Wink

I do not know whether I want to change this any more... And we won't change the naming, because this would break the movie artwork detection

I would need an example when the hyphens get removed..

When renaming, this "30 Days of Night - Dark Days (1080p)" gets renamed to "30 Days of Night Dark Days (1080p)".

cannot reproduce.
Please try it once again, and send us the logs afterwards...

How 'bout a pic:

Not really sure how to attach log file. Blush

well, a log would be better (there is a bug reporting button in the menu Wink

) but we see it on the pic as well Smile

Your movie name is "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
Since the colon cannot be specified as name, it gets removed.

Your OLD folder/name had the dash in there, but the NEW movie title has not.
We're not removing this - we're simply using the pattern you specified in renamer settings...

bobrap · 2015-02-27, 03:07

OK, I understand, but, how do I keep the dash?

myron · 2015-02-27, 19:04

well, since you probably rename with $T (=title), you might want to change your movie title Wink

bobrap · 2015-02-27, 20:07

OK, so what I'm getting from this is hyphens are not allowed in file names. Since this is the only program that does that, maybe I should look for something else. Thanks.

I'm still in doubt, if you really understood me:

You scraped a movie online, the new title is without hypens.
Please don't blame TMM for removing something - we just rename to what you scraped...

bobrap · 2015-02-27, 22:17

I think the problem is if a movie title has a colon in it, it just deletes it instead of changing to hyphen.

myron · 2015-02-28, 14:26

Correct

But what should we do?
How should we know what char you want?
What about other weird characters?
Should we replace all with a hyphen?
The next would want an underscore for another character...

-> it shouldn't get too complicated...

bobrap · 2015-02-28, 17:01

No problem in other programs or with me Big Grin

myron · 2015-03-04, 16:32

After testing with my library, i think we could make this in.
Since a colon is a delimiter of the title, it is better to replace with something printable, instead of completely removing it.
Thanks for pointing that out Smile
