even though your comment is many months old, just thought I’d let you know that filebot is not and never has been a program that you have to pay for…
That’s not entirely correct. If you buy it from the app store you have to pay. If you use brew then the app will ask you to donate after a while. Either way, you’re expected to contribute a bit.
This bugfix release resolves a variety of regression issues and improves default behaviour.
Features:
• Improved auto-delete behaviour (use system trash, preserve hidden user files, etc)
• Improved multi-part movie auto-detection (i.e. {pi} will work better)
• {plex} binding now forces Windows-compatible paths (e.g. strip colons)
• New MediaInfo bindings: {mediaTitle} and {bitdepth}
• New Info Object bindings: {id} (series/movie ID), {object} and {type}
• New Episode bindings: {sc} (season count) and {sy} (season years)
• Support for –action reflink (requires Linux and btrfs)
• Improved Windows 7/8/10 integration
• Improved logging and debugging options
• Lots of minor (and some more critical) bugfixes and enhancements
• Fixes for various regression issues
Sure, but FileBot doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If you go back 4 years then you might find a version that doesn’t crash on startup, but I’d be surprised if anything that connects to the internet still works.
FileBot 4.7.8
• Additional language preferences
• Additional Episode Sort Order: Absolute Airdate Order (useful for matching by airdate or episode title instead of SxE numbers)
• Additional bindings: {kbps} and {khz}
• Unified {localize} and {order} binding usage (e.g. localize.zho.n or order.airdate.sxe)
• Use powershell instead of cmd when executing commands on Windows (e.g. --def exec)
• Improved behaviour for -rename --q command-line usage
• Improved desktop integration for Gnome and KDE
• Improved support for Debian Linux armhf ABI (e.g. Raspberry Pi)
• Minor improvements and bugfixes
FileBot 4.7.9
• Binding {sdhd} has been removed in favour of {hd} which now supports UHD/HD/SD as possible values
• Support Presets for photo mass-renaming
• Support streaming behaviour for -mediainfo commands
• Support lookup by id for -list commands
• Support for renaming episode files in linear order
• Minor improvements and bugfixes
Not sure if this is still being worked on but I found a bug of sorts in the linux version of FileBot. I have Ubuntu Linux 18.04 and I’m running version 4.7.9 of FileBot. When I attempt rename a few shows at once and if they require me to select the correct match from a popup only the first one works. I can select the show but the next window is blank and it hangs the program. My workaround is to manually drop the files one at a time and rename them, that way I keep the program from hanging.
Sounds like a framework bug that would be impossible to fix by changing code within FileBot. Maybe upgrading / downgrading your JVM might work. Maybe changing graphics acceleration settings used by Java / Java Swing might work.
Sorry, I’ve got no clue on this one, and I don’t currently have a Linux machine (with GUI) for testing.
