Hi, I'm trying to use Godfather to rename music files currently formatted as: Artist - Title. mp3
The preset format option for Artist - Title from filename seems to identify the Artist and Title correctly for most cases; however, when there is a period in the filename, for example: Artist1 - Title feat. Artist2
It will instead list the results as
Artist: Artist 1 - Title feat
Title: Artist2
I just found this program so I am far from an expert on using variables and custom formatting options, but is there a way to deal with this scenario? Thanks
Period in file name
Re: Period in file name
Go to File/options / formatting/variables %..%, there you can set your 'token' parameters,
in your case select 'Use separator(s) and make sure only - is active in the list

Awesome, thanks a lot!
Re: Period in file name
Another question, sorry not sure if I'm supposed to make another thread or not. Anyway, is there a way to preserve the capitalization I have in my original filenames when renaming?
For example, if I have:
ARTIST - TITLE
Currently it renames them to just:
Artist
Title
I'd like to keep the all caps instead

Yes you can do that, go to file/options/Work flow,
there locate the "case" task and in the 'apply to..' section check only the fields you would like to set to proper case.
