Hi,
I would like to import some folder names (2 levels to be exact) as multiple albums on movies
I just need a working Action example then I should be able to tinker with it myself from there.
Filename on Disk
i:\Multimedia\Movies\Dracula\Bloodthirsty Trilogy\Evil of Dracula (1974)\Evil of Dracula (1974).[6.5★].[1080p.x264.Bluray.2.500Kbps.23.976Fps].[1.0.AAC].[jpn].{imdb-tt0071308}.mp4
Filename-Tag
%album%%album%%dummy%%dummy%
Gives this output in preview. album: Dracula Bloodthirsty Trilogy
This is the output I would like. album: Dracula /Bloodthirsty Trilogy
It represents 2 albums or collections and must be separated by "/", I don't know how to add the "/".
It does not appear that I can format the output with Filename-Tag and needs to do this with Actions.
I have tried to create an Action to automate this but I really just don't know how.
I created a new Action of type Format value and I can bring the %_PATH% into the album field but I don't know how to extract the values from the path. Maybe there is a simpler way.
I played with this statement.
Nr 1. It is close and Nr 2. Is what i want but I dont like the hardcoding of the drive, i have many drives and the "Multimedia" and the Movies bit. I would prefer something more dynamic where I could rather extract different parent folder levels. Like when you specify ./ or ../ in Filebot. Then it is easy to extract 1, 2 or 3 levels. not having to exclude but rather extract what I need. It still seems the Action is more flexible and manageable and I can create variants for different levels.
Thanks for the Example just what I needed.
I will post my Level 3 Action I created, I created 3 actions for now. A level 1, Level 2 and a Level 3.
I can now easily use the Level I need.
Action #1
*Actiontype: Format Value
*Field: MY_FOLDERPATH
*Formatstring: %_FOLDERPATH%
