Renamed Format:
theRenamer works with S1E01 and 1X01 and 101 formats. (season 1, episode 1)
1) S1E01 - S <season number> E <episode number>
2) 1x1 - <season number> x <episode number>
3) 101 - <season number><episode number>
For Numbers only (3), season/episode needs to be 3 or 4 digits only.
Any 4 digits greater than 1969 are considered as a year.
Examples that work:

Heroes-1201.avi is assumed to be Heroes Season 12 Episode 1
30 Rock-101.avi is assumed to be 30 Rock Season 1 Episode 1

When Confirmation is Enabled, an exclamation icon appears on the bottom right of theRenamer.
*You can just check the Showname in the table. If it is correct, the episode title is probably right as well.

Fetch Folder:
Fetch folder is the folder whereby you normally store your files to be renamed.
With the correct path set, you can simply click on the "Dog Paw" to grab all files from that folder.
You can enable/disable sub-folders when fetching.
O+Click will just open the Fetch folder with the "Dog Paw".
*Any files that are still in use cannot be renamed (File opened/seeding.....).
Automatic Task Schedule -fetch:
Make a shortcut of theRenamer, in the Target, set it to something like this:
C:\installed path\theRenamer.exe -fetch
When theRenamer starts with parameter -fetch, it will auto run in Hidden TV mode and grabs files from the TV's Fetch Folder.
Confirmation is disabled, so use carefully.
Use Windows Task Schedule to run theRenamer.exe -fetch every night for example.
You can also specify the fetch folder and archive folder from parameters. (Quotes Required)
fetchfolder: -ff="???"
archivefolder: -af="???"
Examples: (works with -fetchmovie too)
theRenamer.exe -fetch -ff="c:\abc"
theRenamer.exe -fetch -af="d:\def"
theRenamer.exe -fetch -ff="c:\abc" -af="d:\def"
You can also use -ff and -af parameters to launch theRenamer in normal mode with custom paths (paths not saved).
Examples:
theRenamer.exe -tv -ff="c:\abc" -af="d:\def"
Will launch theRenamer in TV mode with custom fetch folder and archive folder.
theRenamer.exe -movie -ff="c:\abc" -af="d:\def"
Will launch theRenamer in MOVIE mode with custom fetch folder and archive folder.
TV Shows Archive:
Assign where to put your Renamed files. This is your permanent folder of your video collection.
Specify the Archive folder and how you would like the Seasons folder to be called.
With these 2 input, theRenamer can move your renamed files to their respective folders.
Any folder that does Not Exist will be created automatically.
c:\TV Shows Archive

You can also toggle On/Off from this icon (quick access).
Moving Files Structure:

Auto Creates a TV Show folder under the TV Shows Archive Folder.
To Season Folder:

Add "Showname" in Season Folder:
Adds the Showname infront of the Season Folder.
Add "0" for Season:
Adds a "0" before 1 to 9, for the Season Folder.
Individual Folder for Episode:
Creates a folder for each video episode file. The folder name will follow that filename.
Ignore Files:
All file with these extensions are ignored.
Examples:
"exe" "zip" "part"
Keywords:
Keywords are used to help narrow down the filename BEFORE checking for the Showname and Season/Episode.
From ver 6.2, users will need to maintain their own keywords.
All keywords MUST be with Quotes "". (helps looking for spacebar easily)
IF you find a new useful Signature, please let us know too, so we can add it into next releases as default.
Example:
OneDLL.com.TheShow.S01E01.Pilot.HDTV.XOXO.5.20.2010.avi
In this case, 'OneDLL.com' is a keyword that starts at the beginning, so it is removed.
Becomes:
.TheShow.S01E01.HDTV 5.20.2010.avi
The next keyword it found is 'HDTV'. Since it is not at the beginning of the filename, all words from keywords to end is removed (including the date).
Becomes:
.TheShow.S01E01.
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts):
Currently, only filenames with UFC + (number) and WEC + (number) is allowed.
Enable:
Toggle OFF will not show up at the bottom right site modes. Turn of if you do not need to rename MMA files.
Add Zeros:
Adds leading zeros (001, 010) in filename.
Ignore MMA from other site mode:
Useful when you are currently not in MMA mode, and doing a fetch.
If this option is turned on, any filename starting with UFC or WEC will be skipped.
Event, Date, Venue, Location:
Data you wish to include in the renamed file.
Seperators:
The separator used between all data.
