Some time ago I had an idea to help with those tricky filenames (especially for users who download rips online instead of spending the time ripping from their own dvd collection).
eg. Green Lantern Emerald Knights 2011 720P BRRip [A Release-Lounge H264]
It would also be helpful in cases where sequels are organized numerically in a folder, and causes scanning errors in Coolector.

Usually I would simply truncate my filenames however d7e7r7 has made a very strong argument against that. As a matter of fact I am now faced with several situations in which I realize just how right he is.

I'm not sure if/what I posted (I'm notorious when It comes to Déjà vu) but now that I know a bit more about wxWidgets my suggestion should be a bit clearer and more practical. For every filename that is scanned Coollector's scanning algorithm does quite a lot of processing. My suggestion would involve
adding "AfterFirst" to only read characters after the first occurrence of '»'
and "BeforeLast" to only read characters before the last ocurrence of '«'
(if they exist)
This would need only be done once per file and could be done very quickly during scanning due to the relative simplicity of the idea.
Code:
IgnoreReadIgnore.avi
Ignore»Read«Ignore.avi
1-Curse Of The Black Pearl.avi
1»Curse Of The Black Pearl.avi

Green Lantern Emerald Knights 2011 «720P BRRip [A Release-Lounge H264].mp4
Please seriously consider this. It won't mean much of a code addition, won't slow the scanning algorithm, won't add to the interface, and should be really helpful to those user's who choose to use it.
