ERROR: Error renaming "D:\Biggie\TV\/Season 9\ to "D:\Biggie\TV\SHOW/Season 9\

Windows 7

I have a assume it's the slashes being wrong, this started after the release upgrade.

I have a log full off errors, I can private message if requested.

The direction of the slashes doesn't matter, Windows accepts either.
There is a problem with absolute paths in the sort expression.
What's yours?

I deleted the server and it's directory and did a reinstall of 0.5.2. I re-added my searches and used d:\biggie\ & d:\scratch as my default completed and temporary folders. I didn't change any of the default category's, I just added a personal one and I'm using %sn/Season %s/%sn - %sx%0e - %en.%ext for my TV sorting method (the first button). I'm not using anything else for my sorting (no movies or date), I'm not TV sorting on my personal one. In older releases (beta as well) I noticed it always failed to create a the episode description. I would always get a "-" where the episode name should be. I was OK with not getting that, I would just edit the episode information out of the sort string. That doesn't help this time around.  I can provide logs if requested.

I think you can close this, I changed versions (downgrading and upgrading) and this issue is still present. I did change the drive the content was stored to, changing it to the c:\ drive vs. the d:\ drive fixed the problem. Why all of a sudden the drive being use to store my files (and python) is a problem is still a mystery.  Maybe I took a security patch or something. For now the program will save to c:\ I have 4 TB of space, so shifting things around isn't an issue. I still think this is a file path slash issue, I understand to universal programming languages like python and perl that it shouldn't matter but windows has always been finicky depending on the OS you are using.

IMO this program has always worked best under Linux, has anyone tried this under cygwin?

The Windows file system has never had issues with forwards slashes (ever since Windows 3.0).
The command prompt and some applications do refuse it.
Access rights are the most likely issue.
