At the moment I've got all my films in one folder and want to move to having a film in its own folder.

Any suggestions out there for an app to automate doing this??

I'm an app developer and could write one myself but am feeling lazy!

I think Ember can do this... I recall an option to do this in one of the menu options.

Never tried it though.. I always do it as I go..

Looks like FileMonkey can do this if anyone else has this problem:

I used Ember Meida Manager, worked FLAWLESSLY for sorting movies into seperate folders.

Did my whole library(1000+) in less than 5 seconds. Hell, less than 2 seconds! Then i used it to grab posters and fanart and saved it all so i don't have to scrape each time I add a MC or anything.

Here is a VERY helpful link. Lifehacker - Ember Media Manager

seeing you state you're a dev; this bash is all it take (replace for loop with a suitable one)

Code:

#!/bin/bash

for i in `ls -1 *mkv *avi`; do
  base=`echo $i | cut -d '.' -f1`
  files=`ls -1 $base*`
  mkdir $base
  mv $files $base
done

There is an app out there called File 2 Folder, does the trick http://www.thehtpc.net/htpc/file-to-folder-script/
