Five workflows for Media Renamer Pro 2.0

Workflow 1: new episodes arrived

1. Pick TV Shows and press the eye button to load your saved TV folders. New only skips what you already renamed.
2. Press Preview.
3. Skim the high rows. Hover over any medium row to read why.
4. Wrong show on a row? Fix match.
5. Press Rename. Undo is there if you change your mind.

Set up the saved folders once in Settings, Watched Folders. See how to rename only the new files.

Workflow 2: one messy music album

1. Add the album folder and pick Music. Press Preview.
2. Rename the files. The names are now right.
3. Right-click the rows, choose Clean tags if the old tags are junk, and apply.
4. Right-click again, choose Fill tags from filename, apply.
5. Choose Fill tags from lookup for album, year and cover, apply.

Each step has its own preview and its own Undo. Details: clean and fill tags.

Workflow 3: audiobooks

1. Pick Audiobooks and Preview.
2. Check the author on each book. The confidence reason says whether the author agrees with the tags.
3. If a book is matched to the wrong one, open Fix match and choose the right book. Google Books is searched first.
4. Use Fill tags from filename to put author and book into the tags.
5. Open Find online for a cover.

Folder naming for audiobooks is covered in the audiobook naming guide.

Workflow 4: the cover is wrong or missing

1. Turn on Tag editor in Settings, General, Tags.
2. Right-click the file and choose Edit tags.
3. Press Find online and click the right picture.
4. Preview changes, then Write tags.
5. Not happy? Undo.

The full steps are in edit tags and cover art.

Workflow 5: a movie got the wrong match

1. Preview the movie folder. A medium row such as a short film named like your movie is the usual sign.
2. Click the tag icon, choose Fix match, type the title and the year, and press Search.
3. Choose Use this match. The plan updates.
4. Rename. Your pick is remembered for next time.

Before any tag job

Keep a backup of anything you cannot replace, and try a small folder first. Tag jobs change the file itself.
