Naming

How highsea names the folders and files it imports, the tokens a format can use, and what happens to colons.

Written for highsea 0.1.0.

Naming, at the top of Settings › Media management, sets how highsea names what it imports. Changes wait in a bar at the bottom of the page until you choose Save or Discard.

The Naming card, with Rename movies on, the folder and file formats, what each becomes for Sintel, the common tokens and the Colons choice

SettingWhat it doesDefault
Rename moviesOff, files keep the names they came with, and the formats below are greyed out.On
FolderThe format for each film's folder.{Movie Title} ({Release Year})
FileThe format for each film's file, without the extension.{Movie Title} ({Release Year}) {Quality Full}
ColonsWhat happens to a colon in a title, since a file name can't carry one.Smart

Under each format, Becomes shows what the open film Sintel would be called, so you see the result as you type. Subtitles keep the film's file name and add their language, such as .en.srt.

Tokens

A format is text with tokens in braces. The page lists the common ones: {Movie Title}, {Release Year}, {Quality Full}, {Movie CleanTitle} and {Edition Tags}. highsea uses the same tokens as Radarr, so formats you used there work here.

TokenBecomesFolderFile
{Movie Title}The titleYesYes
{Movie CleanTitle}The title without punctuation, & as "and"YesYes
{Movie TitleThe}The title with "The" moved to the endYesYes
{Movie OriginalTitle}, {Movie CleanOriginalTitle}The title in its original languageYesYes
{Movie Collection}The collection the film belongs toYesYes
{Release Year}The yearYesYes
{ImdbId}, {TmdbId}The film's IMDb or TMDB IDYesYes
{Quality Full}The quality, with Proper or REAL when the release is oneNoYes
{Quality Title}The quality alone, such as Bluray-1080pNoYes
{Release Group}The group that made the releaseNoYes
{Edition Tags}The edition, such as Director's Cut or IMAXNoYes
{Custom Formats}The custom formats the release matchesNoYes
{MediaInfo VideoCodec}, {MediaInfo AudioCodec}, {MediaInfo AudioChannels}Read from the file itselfNoYes
{MediaInfo VideoDynamicRange}, {MediaInfo VideoDynamicRangeType}HDR, and its kind, read from the fileNoYes

A few rules:

  • The case of a token sets the case of its value: {movie title} is lower case, {MOVIE TITLE} upper.
  • A token that has nothing to say, such as {Edition Tags} on a film with no edition, is left out.
  • A / in the file format makes a subfolder.
  • The file format must include the title, so files can be told apart.
  • A folder can't use a token that describes a file, such as {Quality Full}.

highsea refuses to save a format with a token it doesn't know, and says which.
