Automating files transfer (movie collection)

SPG · 8 Dec 2013 at 22:02

Currently all my movies are stored in one folder in there original file names, i am getting into XBMC and would like to put them all into there individual folder with the same file name. I could do it manually but it would take for ever and day to complete is there some freeware that can automate the task ?

It should be possible to do that with a little VBScript. If you have the required programming skills.

Properly configured, CouchPotato will do this for you.

Alas no

I left programming when it was 10 print "its cheaper at boots than dixons": 20 goto 10 Run era.

Time to google it guess.

As usual half the battle now is wording what you want, thanks for jogging the memory banks

@Echo off
for %%a in (*.*) do (
md "%%~na" 2>nul
move "%%a" "%%~na"
)
pause

You could give Media scout a go!

I use it for my TV programs, It sorts them into the correct Series, and adds all the relevant Meta data plus Backdrops and DVD case art etc...

It sometimes has a flid and miss names something, but it'll get you 90% there!!

I've got a little script at home that takes a file, creates a folder of the same name and then moves that file into there.
