Re: Adding switches to RenameRecording...
I know some people are gonna kill me, especially 'cause one of great things RenameRecording does is get rid of the unslighty string of numbers in the video file name, but...
When I have a directory with my recordings, after they are renamed to the epsiode names (with or without the main title) the file list may have the episodes out of order with regard to airdate...
Ideally I'd love to have season and episode numbers added to the string, but I know that would be next to impossible as that information is not in the gbpvr database.
The next best thing would be to have a date and/or time stamp switch which would insert somewhere in the filename something like 2006-03-10 or 2006-03-10 1900...
(Need the time too. Scrubs as an example is airing two new episodes a day...)
Or I suppose you could just leave the title alone, and just append the episode title..
Again, I know that that sort of goes against what you were doing with the program in the first place.
I'd just rather have my episodes listed in order of airdate, (and not by changing explorer's view by creation date attribute)
If it would be any help, I would document it all up for you... :-)
eg:
My Buddy's Booty.mpg
My Cabbage.mpg
or
Scrubs - My Buddy's Booty.mpg
Scrubs - My Cabbage.mpg
These will sort by file correctly:
2006-02-28-1900 - My Cabbage.mpg
2006-02-28-1930 - My Buddy's Booty.mpg
or
Scrubs-2006-02-28-1900-My Cabbage.mpg
Scrubs-2006-02-28-1930-My Buddy's Booty.mpg
Thanks so much...

PS one more idea, would be to rename the zip file with a version number so we could always be sure we have the right version
