Make Specific Tags Move File into Determined Folders #3332
-
I have stash running in an unraid docker. I have been running it for 3 days in total, I am new to this (4 years using freeNAS with general use). I would like it if Stash can help with organization and I would love it if I can do it by tags. I tried searching with a certain tag, selecting all then using export to move tagged videos into a folder, all it seems to do is export tag information with JSON files. Even better is if we can make specific tags, by editing them manually, to move files into determined folders. It also wouldn't be the worst thing to have to select clips, either manually or select all with a filtered search, and being able to select "move files". |

There have been discussions before on this feature and it will most likely not be a part of stashs core functionality any time soon. The reason is that it is complicated to make it work on all OS. There is so much that can go wrong and many errors are likely to occur with permissions, etc. That being said there is a plugin for stash which does exactly what you are looking for here: https://docs.stashapp.cc/docs/Add-ons/Plugins/ and it is called "renamerOnUpdate". At least I believe it does what you want as I don't use it personally. |

As Herlam80 directed, 7 hours later I got renamerOnUpdate to work as a test on windows. It wasn't exactly friendly to set up. I never worked with Python or used commands to download modules, that took some effort. The config file for the plugin also seems to assume previous knowledge. For anybody who is as new as me, here is how I achieved it after python setup and "requests" module install - Ended up using it in a different manner than expected, I am using it to finely sort sub directories. Main Folder Sorts, For Sub Folder Sorts, After tagging a few videos, hit scan, go into unsorted, use windows thumbnails or quickly previewing the video to figure out main folder sort. I just threw those videos into the main folder sorts, hit scan again, they get resorted into sub folder sorts. |

Also stash doesn't really care about your folder structure. The whole point of stash is even to not to have to care about a folder structure at all.
