Improvment request: File Renaming option #27

Closed newargus closed 7 years ago

newargus commented 7 years ago

Hello,

First, nice job ! I'm using your editor since 2 or 3 days, and it's working perfectly.

I've a request to improve sorting a lot of files with mixed author in the same directory: the possibility to combine file auto-renaming with directory creation and file moving such as with author name, (in fact with the same possibilities as file renaming rules).

This could be a cool feature when you have tons of files to process.

Hi Olivier,

It already does that. In the "File renamer" setting window, use "\" to create subdirectories. For example,

%CreatorFirstInitial%\%CreatorSurnameOnly% - %Title%

will move your files into folders according the the creator's first initial (of the surname). This will work if you rename files individually, or in bulk using the "Batch Operations" panel.
