Problem between Show Name and RSS Searches

I'm having a really confusing and annoying problem getting a show name to work properly throughout TVRename.

The culprit is "Human Target (2010)", TVDB #94801

The problem is that FILENAMES from the torrents typically are like Human.Target.2010, but the name of the show in RSS FEEDS is "Human Target" WITHOUT the 2010 included in the RSS title.

If the show name in TVRename is left at default, "Human Target (2010)" then it is not found when scanning the RSS feed. It just misses it altogether. If I set a Custom Showname to "Human Target" then the RSS feed scanner finds it, but nothing ELSE in TVRename will work since the FILENAME has the 2010 part in it. The missing check will say i'm missing all of the episodes.

Now I could MANUALLY rename every episode, but that kind of defeats the point.

Show names with a year in them has been a constant problem, generally because the year matches a possible format for the season and episode number to be in.

Try going to Options>Filename Processors, and disable the (by default) 6th one, with the example "Show - 323 - Foo". Set the custom name to "Human Target" and see if it works properly.

One thing I want to add is an option for a show where you enter a list of alternate names, so you can keep its main name as "Human Target (2010)", but also tell TVRename to pick up things like "Human Target" and "HT2010", etc.
