Renaming mask is not respected

Hi Paul,

Maybe I’m tired but I’m not able to understand what’s going wrong.
Trying to update my mp3 collection with some new CDs I ripped, I’ve updated SongKong to the latest release (4.11) and I’ve set my options and my filename masks.

The release is correctly identified and files are moved but without respecting the mask I set.
Could this be an issue in your last release or did I forget some setting?

Here are the options:

Hi, please just run Help:Create Support Files this will upload reports and files so I can see exactly what has happened, will be much easier for me to solve your issue this way.

Hi Paul,
Are you expecting a specific level of tracing or should I keep the “warning” default?

Hi you have Rename files based on metadata set to No on the first tab

:mrgreen: Much better now!
Sorry for my dumb request…

I just scrolled quickly through this post and im having same issues asin SongKong is not reaming the folders and if i set it too plex scanner setting after each go at scraping it goes back to default and when scraping is changing data to defalut reaming adding year in Artist/Album.

Hope i explained that enough i have to go leave home and its been bugging me as to what im doing wrong

I will try setting Rename file based on metadata to Yes and hope thats what i was doing wrong

thanks

Rename File Part Only was checked…tbh been a while since i fired up songkong

:slight_smile:

If its set to No then clearly SongKong will not rename !

Got to add …SongKong has got a LOT quicker and more lightweight .I have gone to a 7th gen over a 4th gen but nice work I shall leave her monitoring most dff nad not get behind

Thanks for the quick reply and help
