[FAQ] What is the best action to take when the file scanner gets it wrong?

<< < (6/6)

 Yes Buah I tried your Avatar example, it suggested to change the file path for the existing Avatar entry. This is not really surprising as no other entry has "avatar" in their title.

 Rick, I never realized that (year) could make a difference... I will try to rename all files and add (year) in their titles. Hopefully it won't mess too many things.

 One question though: I see "find and replace" on the scan preferences window, what does it do exactly? Can it rename filenames?

 Thanks.

I use it to replace special characters in the file and folder name. For instance:

Is There Anybody There^.avi is recognized by regex as Is Anybody There? which is proper title of the movie. Previously I set up scanner to find "^" and replace it with "?"

Also I set up these replacements:

-- -> :
~ -> "

I haven't found yet movies with special characters: *, >, <, /, \, and I have chosen ^, ~, {, }, ` (not ') for file names because of the same reason.
