Request: Disable Renaming of Files

Open Deepfail opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

The app creates individual clips and stores them in the “clips” folder, and renames them with auto generated file names. I would like the ability to turn the auto generated renaming off and/or include the original videos filename in the renaming formula.

I want to take clips the app has generated and use them elsewhere, but the auto generated filenames remove all identifying information. So I can’t quickly locate all clips containing a particular performer and throw them into a external video editor.

The only issue I'm seeing here is that it's pretty easy to have conflicts here. For example if you have two video.mp4s in the same compilation but from different folders, you'd need to find a way to resolve the ambiguity.

If you could just include original filename somewhere in there…that would be perfect. Something like:

(Original Filename No EXT + Adjective + Animal + .mp4

Including Performer name (if available) in the file renaming scheme would be cool too, but for me that’s not necessary if the filename is included. Plus it seems like that would be a lot more work.

I added this feature (via a check box in the video settings), and it's included in this pre-release version. Can you give it a try?
