Folder Sorter by IMDB genre / ratings
« on: December 10, 2016, 06:38 PM »
Hello,

first of all, hello to all of you!

i am here because i am in need of some tools to help me out in my sorting things...

I need to sort several movies folder names by genre.

the name of the folders are like this.

Jeremy.Clarkson.Thriller.DVDRip.XviD-HAGGiS

so, the app should read the folder name, identify the movie name Jeremy Clarkson Thriller and move or create a symbolic link into a Sorted/Genre folder.

Not sure if i was explicit, feel free to ask.

i may need to add other options into the application.

Feel free to email me or pm me. I am willing to pay for this :)

thank you

SortMoviesByGenre creates links to movies, placing them in folders of genre, based on parts of their filename. :)

I'm not sure how standardized your foldernames are. I added an option to separate the title and genre from the rest of the folder name by a user defines text, but maybe separating by genre would be better? I could add all the IMDB genres to the file, and use that to split the folder names.

Download and install AutoHotkey to run the script.
Save the script to a text file called SortMoviesByGenre.ahk and double click to run.

Maybe @skrommel responded to the OP through a wormhole in the space-time continuum, or som'at.
It's a funny old world.
