Bulk rename episodes - clockwerk - 2018-05-25

How do I bulk rename episodes?.

e.g. select 10 episodes and change episode from 1-10 to 41-50.

No. I'm not asking to change the name file. I want to change the nfo episode.

@Momo90  

How do I change this?


RE: Bulk rename episodes - clockwerk - 2018-05-25

Devs? @mlaggner ?

@clockwerk

Be patient please. We are not all sitting by the computer waiting for people to post. For all you know they could be in bed asleep.

Wait at least 24hrs before bumping a thread.

Hopefully you're right.


RE: Bulk rename episodes - mlaggner - 2018-05-25

depends on which OS you are..
the linux and macOS file manager have such features IIRC..
for windows please have a look at https://www.howtogeek.com/111859/how-to-batch-rename-files-in-windows-4-ways-to-rename-multiple-files/

 Do not confuse filename with nfo name. Once again, look here > https://imgur.com/a/LhMq36T

I do not want to change filename. I want to change the episode number on the nfo itself as seen in the screenshot above.

<episodedetails>
    <title></title>
    <showtitle></showtitle>
    <rating></rating>
    <votes>28</votes>
    <season>1</season>
    <episode>1</episode>

Using your software I'm able to change this one by one but I'm asking a way to change it by batch. e.g select 10 episodes and change episode from 1-10 to 41-50.
As you already have bulk change for season. I want to know how to change episodes.

- edit tv show
- goto episodes where you have a table for easier editing those values
- scrape show again to get correct metadata

@myron 

There is no bulk option to change episodes, e.g select 10 episodes and change episode from 1-10 to 41-50.

Look at the example i made>

As you can see, there is an option for bulk changes for seasons but not episodes


RE: Bulk rename episodes - mlaggner - 2018-05-26

well, I think you did not understand bulk edit. 
Bulk edit is for editing the SAME information/value (like the same season) for many episodes.. you want to edit many episodes, changing the episode numbers to DIFFERENT values.. how should that work?

 It should work with incrementing numbers when a bunch is selected. Just like this https://imgur.com/a/ajdi4zY

This is bulk. Get it now?


RE: Bulk rename episodes - Karellen - 2018-05-26

@clockwerk

There is no Bulk Edit option for episodes that allows incremental numbering.

Get it now?

 Not really. I created this thread because I thought I might have missed this feature, and time and time again the dev didn't understand my question. Since you're not the dev, I would like you to keep your opinion of the software itself to yourself as you might have missed it as I did.
