AniDB O'Matic - Documentation: Local file renaming

File renaming patterns

AoM contains a comprehensive number of patterns to fully customize file names and paths. In order for the pattern to allow very complex rules it essentially allows light scripting. The path can be a complete path or a partial path, in case of a partial path the current file manager is used to place the file based on a known root or from the root folder of the file manager, see file managers below for more details. File extensions are automatically added to the end of the pattern.

Here's a few sample patterns:

• "?a - ?ep - ?e [?g]" ->
  "Anime - 02 - Episode name [Group name]"
• "?a - ?epv?v - ?e?if(lg<>'', ' ['+lg+']', '')" ->
  With group: "Anime - 02v1 - Episode name [Group name]"
  Without group:"Anime - 02v1 - Episode name"
• "?if(wltw, 'To watch\', '')?a?if(isMovie, if(moviePartCount>1, ' - Part '+partno+if(v>1, 'v'+v, ''), if(v>1, ' - v'+v, '')), ep+if(v>1, v, '')+'- ?e') ?if(lg<>'', lg+' ', ''){?crc32}" ->
  For a movie: "Anime name - v2 [Group name]{crc32}"
  For a movie with 2 parts: "Anime name - Part 2v2 [Group name]{crc32}
  For a normal anime, marked as "to watch in wishlist": "To watch\Anime name - 02v2 - Episode name [Group name]{crc32}

Custom tags
AOM still supports custom tags to simplify rules. Custom tags works as follows:

• Specified like a normal tag but in all uppercase, for example "?G".
• If any subpart of the tag is empty, the whole tag is skipped, except:
• If the tag contains ?if statements, these are not checked if they're empty.

With this you could simplify the group rule, for example you could write it:

• Using ?if: "?if(lg<>'', '['+lg+']', '')" -> "?G"
• Simplest form: "[?lg]" -> "?G"
• More advanced example: "?if(lg<>'', '['+lg']', if(sg<>'', '['+sg']', '[RAW]'))" -> "?G"

Default tags

?a	text	Anime name
?ab	number	Audio bitrate
?ac	text	Audio codec
?aid	number	Anime ID
?e	text	Episode name
?eid	number	Episode ID
?ep	number	Episode number
?ep2, ?ep3, ?ep4	text	Zero padded episode number, eg ?ep3 = 007
?fid	number	File ID
?fs	text	File source
?g	text	Group name, long (?lg) if available, otherwise short (?sg)
?gid	number	Group ID
?isMovie	boolean	True if the current file belongs to a movie anime
?lang	text	Shows 1-2 Audio and 1-2 Subtitle languages
?la	text	Shows all audio languages
?la1, ?la2, ?la3, ?la4	text	Shows 1-4 audio languages
?lg	text	Long group name
?ls	text	Shows all subtitle languages
?ls1, ?ls2, ?ls3, ?ls4	text	Shows 1-4 subtitle languages
?mid	number	Mylist ID
?sg	text	Short group name
?v	number	File version
?vb	number	Video bitrate
?vc	text	Video codec

Note that all tags are greedy, that means that ?ep2 will always be read as ep2, never as ?e or ?ep. If you need a tag to not be greedy you can use ?out(ep).

Function tags

?if()	If statement. Example: ?if(a=b, 'equal', 'not equal')
?lc()	Converts the supplied parameter to lower case. Example ?lc(crc)
?uc()	Converts the supplied parameter to upper case. Example ?uc(crc)

Comparison operators

A=B	true if A equals B
A<>B	true if A does not equal B
A<B	true if A is less than B
A>B	true if A is more than B
A and B	true if both A and B are true
A or B	true if either A or B is true
not A	true if A is false
