hi guys,
I just bought hazel a few weeks ago. love it. i noticed as of 3.0.4, the replace option for a "name" token doesnt seem to work.
for example, i like to rename files like "SHOW.I.WATCH.S01E2.HDTV.720P.AVI" to "Show I Watch - S01E02 - 720p.avi". I acomplished this via a rename action:
(Rename) with pattern [
(name)(extension)]
for
(name), "No Change" was checked by default.
I instead checked "Replace Text...".
A popup showed up with "Replace [ ] with [ ] (-)(+)"
I entered a '.' in the first box and a ' ' (empty space) in the second and hit "done".
I opened it up again, and "No Change" was selected.
I created a video to illustrate the issue.
SWF videoyou can see the purple labeled file has periods. and when i run the rule, it seems to ignore the 'replace text' rule.
if this was changed, what would be the best way to accomplish this with Hazel since the title of my shows all contain periods in them.
also, I uninstalled hazel and reinstalled it, and it did not help.
* I may add, it would be nice if saving your rules could also save which folders you watched. that way you don't have to add the folders manually, import each rule, and enable the rules. I could very well be an idiot and missed how to do this.
thanks!
ps. i love hazel. seriously.
