BRU simply stops working

[RebelliousOne]

I've been using BRU for a while now with no issues. The past couple days, it's simply stopped working. I updated it, still nothing.
What happens:
I was using the regex filter to rename some files on my media server, watching the preview window to make sure I was getting the results I expected. Saw the pattern was producing the desired results on on file, clicked to highlight another file to check it, and nothing. The pattern produced no change at all. So went back to the file I had just checked and it also was now producing no change. I didn't change anything, just clicked from one file to the next. Now I can't get it to do anything with the regex. The replace filter works, but not the regex filter. I haven't tested any of the others because I don't use them much.

I just renamed dozens of files yesterday. And it was working fine for the first few minutes today. I don't understand why it stops working.

When I apply this regex:

Code: Select all

/^(.*t), (T.*)\s\(.*(\.\w{3}$)

To these files:

Code: Select all

Midnight, Texas (2017) - S01E01 - Pilot (1080p BluRay x265 Silence).mkv
Midnight, Texas (2017) - S01E02 - Bad Moon Rising (1080p BluRay x265 Silence).mkv

On the regex101 site, it works as expected. But it does nothing to the file names in BRU.

This had been producing the desired results previously. But no longer works.

Code: Select all

${1} ${2}${3}

Also tried

Code: Select all

$1 $2$3

and

Code: Select all

\1 \2\3

With no success.

The Filters12 "Mask" must always match the file-extension, but the RegEx(1) "Match" doesnt always need to match it.
RegEx(1) only needs to match it with "Inc.Ext." or "Renaming Options, File/Folder Extensions, Rename File Extensions".

In either case, the leading / in your regex should be removed, or it cant match anything.
So the Filters(12) "Mask" could be something like... .+t, T.+ \(.+\)\.\w{3}$

And without options to match/replace extensions, RegEx(1) can use a "Match" and "Replace" like...
(.+t, T.+) \(.+\)$
\1

Im just realized you probably want to replace ", " with 1-space, so the RegEx(1) "Match" and "Replace" to be more like...
(.+t),( T.+) \(.+\)$
\1\2
