Keep files original name while moving
In the early versions I was able to do that with {original} key. Is there any way to do that with new version?
To move files without renaming them? I wasn't aware this was supported earlier but either way, this is not something currently supported in v2.0.0. I'll investigate restoring this functionality.
Any update regarding this feature. I want to keep the original file name and just move it into a new directory.
Upon further reflection I'm not convinced about the utility of this feature is aligned with the intent of mnamer, a media renamer. Unless I'm missing something, if you just want to move media files surely there is a simpler way, e.g. just using find: find /download_dir -type f -name '*.mp4' -or -name '*.mkv' -exec mv -t /dest_dir {} +;. If you want to do something fancy like media detection you can use grep and guessit which is a dependency of mnamer and would be installed alongside it.
At this point I don't intend on adding this feature myself but would happy to review a PR for it.
I would love if this feature got merged in. I maintain my own fork with this functionality baked in on gitlab.
I think it boils down to mnamer really does three things.
- media detection
- organization / moving
- renaming
For many users, including myself, being able to just do the first 2 steps is desirable. Is there anything I can do to help get this feature included? It looks like @queeup has a solution and test case already hashed out, is there anything additional I can help with?
