Sorry about the thread title but I honestly couldn't think of anything else.
As for the problem I have noticed with the later versions that if I drag certain episodes to RMTV they will it will not populate either list, but if I click "Add Files" and navigate to and select the file
both columns will be populated and I can simply rename. I ran into this issue with the 4 test files I used in the previous thread. Two RMTV would find and suggest there new names instantly.
The other two RMTV would just sit there til I deliberately crashed it, relaunched it, used "Add Files", then RMTV would instantly populate both list for those episodes. All files were MKV's.

This is a Linux specific issue (as I always use drag and drop because I'm lazy 😉) that I'm not aware of.
So this most likely is a widgetset related issue in Lazarus Pascal since nothing changed in the code for the last 5 years, not to mention: both methods (Add Files and Drag and Drop) use the same method to add files. So the handshake between the file manager and RMTV seems "off'. Since it worked before, and I assume the file manager you use didn't change, I'd guess this may be related to "OnDropFiles" event implementation in Lazarus for Linux.
Does this happen with the Qt5 version, GTK2 version, or both?
