Title: I need to remove certain characters from my folder structure.
Post by: Rootdown4594 on April 03, 2021, 06:05:41 pm

My Nvidia Shield also has access to my music library folder. Android sees any folder beginning with a "." (period) as hidden.

I have a few albums that begin with a "."

Example:

Metallica's "...And Just for All"

I have JRiver set to put all my albums into folders named after the album. Since my Shield can't see any folder beginning with a period, these albums are not accessible on shield.

How can I automate JRiver to remove all periods from folder names?

For existing folders, you'll have to rename them and reimport the files into MC, or use the RMCF tool to do the renaming which is safer and avoids having to reimport.

For new rips (assuming you're ripping with MC), you can try changing the Folder Rule in Settings-> File Location -> Audio (CDRips) -> Folder Rule. The default is "[Artist]\[Album]" ... assuming this supports Expressions (I didn't test), you can try changing it to:

[Artist]\trim(replace([Album],.,/ ))

This replaces all dots with spaces and then removes any leading/trailing spaces.
