Telling Folders	Aug 31 2009	EAKSTER Does not seem to work with 10.6 snow leopard. The "folder" icon does not show up, just the application icon only. Also can we get this automated so that when you drop an application onto it will automatically change the parent folder to the new folder icon? Thanks, great app (Version 1.0)		0

iDentify	Nov 30 2008	EAKSTER EAKSTER I thought about what you stated before about the first time running preferences, that never came up when I ran it the first time. I deleted my copy then re downloaded and installed. It seems to be WORKING FINE NOW. AWESOME PROGRAM!!! Beats all the others hands down!!! :) One minor grep is that it changes the iTunes name from Son Of The Beach 1x01 With Sex You Get Eggroll to With Sex You Get Eggroll I would like to keep the file name as the iTunes name.

ARR MIHARDIES I do it that way because that is how Apple does it. Apple products sort tv shows based on the information found in the show, series, and episode tag, and leave the episode title as the title. If you were to load the file into iTune, it would be correctly sorted in it, and in any iTunes based device like the iPod or the appleTv. iDentify was built with this in mind. I suppose I could add a preference to force the title to match the file name. Sould be fairly easy to do.

iDentify	Nov 30 2008	EAKSTER Nice start but seems to have trouble if the application is not in the root of the boot hard drive applications folder. Also will not tag videos that are NOT on the root hard drive. It also renames the file to iDentify.Son Of The Beach 1x01 With Sex You Get Eggroll.mp4 Wish it would move original to trash then make tagged file with same name. It also writes the Show name as the Name in iTunes. ----Error results of videos not on the boot drive----- TVDB Results: Series: Son of the Beach, Season #1 Episode: #3, In the G-Hetto Now Tagging File Number 1 / 1 File Name: /Volumes/Mitheril/Movies/TV Shows/Son Of The Beach/Son Of The Beach 1x (13)/Son Of The Beach 1x03 In The G Hetto.mp4 AP error trying to fopen: No such file or directory AtomicParsley error: an error occurred while trying to create a temp file.

ARR MIHARDIES What version of Mac OS X are you running, and if known, what version of perl is on your system? I have had no issues at all running this from multiple places in the file system. If the program was not moving the original to the trash, it is likely because you answered no to replace the original during the preferences setup. As stated during the initial configuration, moving to the trash will have no effect if replace original is not also selected. So far, in testing, I've had no trouble moving the original to the trash even across file system boundaries (drive to drive) or even network mounted drives.

I'm not saying iDentify is without flaws or drawbacks, and I've made no secret that this is just a Release Candidate 2 release; I'm not sure what is going on with your root problem, but the moving to trash problem is likely just an incorrect preference setting. You can edit the preferences by opening the packacage and editing /Contents/Resources/options.xml

As expected, a setting of 0 is off, and 1 is on.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you change the name of the containing folder to something more like: /Volumes/Mitheril/Movies/TV Shows/Son Of The Beach/Son Of The Beach 1x03 In The G Hetto.mp4

ARR MIHARDIES I should note that the file replacement is done, and has to be done after the file tagging process is complete. So, during the tagging process, a file named iDentify.originalfilename will appear in the same directory. Then, when tagging is complete, it moves the original to the trash, and renames the new copy to match the original name.

One minor grep is that it changes the iTunes name from

Son Of The Beach 1x01 With Sex You Get Eggroll to

With Sex You Get Eggroll

I would like to keep the file name as the iTunes name.

ARR MIHARDIES Eakster: Just thought I'd let you know, the next version of iDentify will have a preference to make the title tag match the file name.
