Last updated 15 days ago

Currently this function does 5 things to all files in a directory and any sub-directories.

  1. Removes everything in parentheses with the exception of the 4-digit year (if available)

  2. Removes c2c

  3. Removes anything in brackets [any text removed] - along with the brackets

  4. Removes any text / characters after "filename issue (year)"

  5. Removes any extra spaces before the file extension

The pattern used for renaming is {Series Name} {Issue Number} ({Year})

Mylar3 and ComicRackCE should be your first choice for performing these actions, but I wanted something I could easily run on my manual downloads directory or repair in a one-off method.

Oftentimes series archives or torrent files will have numerous naming patterns with information in parenthesis, brackets, before the year, after and all over the place. I continuously update these to handle as many as I encounter.
