Need Movie sorting for two different categories

Post by djon »

I have set up categories for movies and 3D Movies and want them to be unpacked and renamed to two different folders. However there is only one Movie sorting function. How can I sort movies to two different folders?

If you set a sorting spec that is a relative path, it will be appended to the category path.
You now probably have a full path starting with drive letter and a backslash "\" ?

That's right. Could you explain the "sorting spec" in more detail?

They need to go into d:\Movies and d:\3D-Movies

First of all, setup two categories.
One called "Movies" and one called "3D-Movies" and set the desired path for each.
After that, the Sort expression can be as simple as: %title.%ext
Or, if you want folders per movie: %title/%title.%ext
Sorting will add the category path and the expression together.

Don't forget to enable the two categories for Movie sorting (left of the Movie Sort section).

Ok, so if no folder is specified under sorting it will automatically combine the Folder path under Categories with whatever you write under sort string?
