Post New Requests Here / Re: comparing two big different lists of strings/filenames

Wouldn't that all be fixed by handling strings as Unicode?
-Ath (Today at 01:13 AM)

Hello & good day! You're right with your spot-on Unicode observation... yet, in this case, this particular app needs to have the lesser character pool to compare words in the movie title; we are currently folding characters to ASCII in order to help keep the program's complexity reasonable -- according to our standards, that is :)

Certainly, other implementations of fuzzy movie file name comparison can do it differently; it's just that we are really streamlining things here for our purposes... The lesser, the better in this case

The latest ALPHA 5 version of AnyHandler is out, along with an accompanying usage video:

The renaming program used is "Bulk Rename Command Line" / BRC:

A reminder of program notes:

  • Activation needs the user to log off / restart.
  • App directory should not have spaces (e.g. C:\AnyHandler).
  • {src} = Source directory.
  • {dst} = Destination directory.

Cheers! :Thmbsup:

Wouldn't that all be fixed by handling strings as Unicode? Because stripping 'non-ascii' from titles would mean significant information being removed from these titles :huh:

You're correct: pre-processing throws an error when processing such odd titles.

The easy way out would be to strip non-alphanumeric characters in the traditional file-friendly way ("[^A-Za-z0-9_. ]+") but it can lose some title-delimiter information in the process.

I'm fixing it by keeping the processing "as is" for the correct file names while stripping bit by bit when reaching the ones that throw the error.

Hello & good day @yutils

Just throwing an idea here: a possible workaround would be to record the mouse movements with a macro recorder software and then replaying it to repeat selecting the same size and location again as needed :up:

Cheers!

Thanks for the report

Next version is going to strip the remaining non-foreign-language characters for internal comparison --while caching the original title for output/display :)

My Logitech MX Master series mouse is amazing. I used to be a huge advocate for trackballs, and likely still would be, if it weren't for the multi-system support of the MX series.

No problem, I'm happy with the latest beta for now :)
I guess it would be nice if the person who made the help file could update it with contents about the new features for the release version, too.
