Great program! :)

It's proberly already been reuested, but the possibility to do custom "File Naming Styles" would be great. I'm curently using "3x14 - Episode Name" for my shows, and the best option today is "Show Name - 3x14 - Episode Name" :|

Yeah.. I'm getting requests from lots of people for custom naming styles. I'll look at doing it fairly soon, as its something that'll become more useful as more people (with different ideas of how to name shows) use TVRename.

I agree. I use the "1x01 - Episode Name" naming convention too. I would really love to be able to use this program, but can't have it rename all my episodes to a different naming convention.

Thanks

Steve,

First off .. thanks for this amazing plugin, I have been looking for something to organize my shows for ages. Regarding the custom rename .. I found an app that had a mask builder, which could help you implement a custom renaming scheme:

Series Title = {TITLE}
Episode Title = {NAME}
Episode Number = $$
Season Number = ##

It would look like this:
##x$$ - {NAME} = '01x01 - pilot'
{TITLE}.S##E%% = 'Simpsons.S01E01'

Good to hear you like it. :) I had a look at the mask builder in Natbur's Renamer, which has given me a few ideas about how to go about it - particularly for optional parts for use in multiple-episode files. Its something I'll do within the next month, if I don't have too much other work on.

Any chance of adding a quick entry to the preferred list for the naming convention that both of us seem to share (3x01 - Episode)?? I think this is a pretty common one.

Please??

I really like your software, and would love to be able to use it on my entire collection.

At least this could hold us over until your new customizable one is done.

Thanks!

Since you asked so nicely.. :) It'll be in the next version I upload, which will be in the next couple of days.

For a teaser of what's coming in the next week or so:



Custom name templates, with preview and a check that TVRename can still find the season and episode number correctly from it.

Thanks so much for adding that naming scheme. After being able to play with it now for a day, I have to say this is an invaluable tool! I am very impressed with it, and it's flexibility. I am working on getting it configured for my directories and such, but so far it is great! I will definitely be using this over the other tools I was using. I will give some more feedback after I get it more tweaked for my setup, and let you know how it goes!

Custom filename templates are now in the latest version. Go ahead and break it!
