Folder Rename with Folder Merge on Duplicate

Postby intertet » Sat Apr 16, 2022 6:10 am

Hello everyone,
Long time user of BRU, but first time with a LOT of folders needing a special case.

Issue is I have files named Movie (year) - [tt1234568] that I use the character translation tool to change the [ ] to { } thanks to not reading the Plex documentation properly.
Well, some of these folders have been created with the curly brackets in advance due to automation and can't be deleted.

My issue is that when I rename the [ ] into { } the folder exists and I have to manually merge them and allow BRU to continue renaming while I run through this manual process.
Now my issue is there are over 2000-3000 of these fixes I have to do manually, and I was hoping BRU had some logic or feature to merge the renamed folder into the new one instead of prompting to ignore or cancel.

Thanks in advance, I tried searching on google and using the search feature here and failed to find anything with this exact use-case.
