Naming of movie series for scanning files
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2019 2:50 pm
Hello Hector.
I have just finished an intense renaming process of my movie files, so Coollector can scan all of them without problem.
All works great except for the movie series. I have chosen the naming convention of adding an order number to the beginning of the name, so it is easy to see the progress of the saga at a glance in the file explorer.
Following I list the Indiana Jones movie series as an example:
01 - Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - En busca del arca perdida
02 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) - Indiana Jones y el templo maldito
03 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) - Indiana Jones y la última cruzada
04 - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) - Indiana Jones y el reino de la calavera de cristal
If I don't use the preceding order numbers the list in the file explorer wouldn't be chronological ordered.
But adding these order numbers results in Coollector not recognising the movie names while scanning files.
I know I can live with the files without order numbers and not ordered in the file explorer but I think it is a nice feature. Above all with large sagas as in Star Trek.
So, could you consider adding to the scanning engine the ability to ignore the preceding order numbers in a file so it can recognise the movie?
I know you can't to that directly as doing that Coollector could not recognise any film beginning with a number in the name.
But perhaps it could easy works adding some scape character before or surrounding the order number so the program can recognise when it is an order number or it is part of the name. Some possibilities:
(01) - ...
#01 - ...
_01 - ...
etc
What do you think?
