Batch: Odd file names #128

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I specified the source folder as the target folder without enabling the 
overwrite checkbox and here is how the files peoduced by SE look like:

S01E01.be05e16d-f0d5-40a2-8522-39cb0baac34f.srt
S01E02.a7d148e5-cd63-406d-b981-cefc7117ad58.srt
...
S01E11.1129e1a2-39f3-4e9d-b45f-7dfec09cfe1d.srt
S01E12.ba3debbe-93e1-43a7-8b3c-2995cc30c342.srt

while original (source) file names were like this:

S01E01.srt
S01E02.srt
...
S01E11.srt
S01E12.srt

I am not sure, but it looks as if SE is adding a GUID to original name.

While it is a good idea to use GUIDs to ensure uniqueness, it is a pain to get 
rid that portion (I had to write a small app to do that).

I'd very much prefer it if SE simply refused to write back to the source folder 
unless the user consciously enables overwrite.

SE has moved to GitHub - please re-add this issue at GitHub if it's still 
important :)
