A better finder rename

Post by roads »

People downloading movies will likely throw roses for weeks where I walk. With a better finder rename http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/ you can easily rename a movie by removing dots looking for the year, putting it in parenthesis and removing the junk after the year. The code doing this is (.*?)([0-9]{4})(.*). Just save a droplet as in the picture below and pull the files on the droplet you wish to rename. Works in 99.9% of the cases

My question is how do I make SABNZB do this postprocessing automatically for certain folders it puts files?

Somehow to have to write a shell script that triggers OSX's Automator.
Assuming that this tool suppors Automator.

It could not be done from SABNZB? Or could the job be done by SABNZB as a feature request without a better folder rename? Try it shypike it works like a charm. What I currently do is pull the folders in a pack over on the droplet. Not a horrible thing but I love stuff being automated.

If you're asking whether this functionality will be implemented in SABnzbd: very unlikely.
My suggestion was to use SABnzbd's end-of-job script to trigger the ABetterFinderRename tool to do the renaming job.

OK I cant do that, I hope someone who likes this renaming, that is btw the way XBMC likes it the most the scrape, will connect SABNZB with ABFR and post it here.
